Fred Derf Veteran Posted June 26, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2007 Record 7 40-year-olds to start Wednesday Associated Press NEW YORK ? It really will be old-timers day in the major leagues on Wednesday, when a record seven pitchers in their 40s are scheduled to start. The New York Yankees' Roger Clemens (44), Philadelphia's Jamie Moyer (44), Detroit's Kenny Rogers (42), San Diego's Greg Maddux (41), the New York Mets' Tom Glavine (41), Houston's Woody Williams (40) and Atlanta's John Smoltz (40) are set to pitch on the same day. The previous record of six was set last Friday, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, when all but Clemens started. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/R...tsBaseball/home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokar Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Earlier in May, Jamie Moyer (44) faced Randy Johnson (43) in Arizona for the oldest duel between lefty pitchers in history. It was all for naught as the record was broken later in the month when Johnson faced Moyer in Philadelphia (88 years, 90 days)...muahahaha.
