Power Speed and Age

Julio Franco homered off Randy Johnson last night:

Meanwhile, Randy Johnson, making his third start, was roughed up for five runs but managed to last seven innings. He allowed two more home runs, the fourth and fifth opponents have hit off him in 18 innings this season.

One was to Valley product Paul Lo Duca. The other was a two-run shot by 48-year-old Julio Franco. The specs on the Franco-Johnson matchup: Combined age: 91. Total major league experience: 43 seasons.

Franco showed he still has some jump in his step when he added a stolen base in the ninth inning.

In the last four seasons, Franco stole 15 bases in 18 attempts.
