Happy 45th Birthday to Fatolo Colon

[Droopdog51]

I never have been and never will be a fan of guys in their mid 40's hanging on after they've made their fortunes and taking a roster spot away from a young guy.

Didn't like Jamie Moyer, Julio Franco, Ichiro, Tim Wakefield or Randy Johnson either.

Cap a player's age at 40.

Well, this guy

Stats after turning 40..

• Had 1437 Ks
• Averaged 10.17 Ks per 9 innings
• ERA of 3.33
• Had 71 wins
• Threw No-Hitter 6 at 43
• Threw No-Hitter 7 at 44

I think he did a little more than hang on and take a roster spot away from a young guy.

He also threw this Non-No-Hitter at 46....
