Two More Years
The ageless Jamie Moyer signs a two-year deal with the Phillies. He'll be 47 when the deal is done.
When I started working for STATS, Inc., I wondered who would be the last player to still playing in the pre-STATS era, that is, before 1987. I figured there was a good chance it would be Barry Bonds. With Greg Maddux retired, however, the honor goes to Moyer.
Boston traded him to Seattle stright up for Darren Bragg in '96 and he's won 180 games since.
