Yeah..Steve Garvey will be 72 in December.

What I can’t believe is that Tommy Lasorda (93) is still alive. That fricker should have died 20 years ago.

Pete Rose is close to 80 and should have been in the Hall of Fame 35 years ago.

He didn't retire until 1986.

Loved that guy.

Did anyone ever read his book ‘Temporary Insanity’. Was hilarious and chronicled all the pranks he played on teammates and Tommy Lasorda (Lasagna).
