August 24, 200521 yr They had to use radiocarbon dating to figure it out, but today was his 47th birthday.
August 24, 200521 yr I'm sure some of the dirt in my backyard is younger then julio franco..........but Happy Birthday
August 24, 200521 yr What an amazing athelete. Id love to see this guy get around to age 50. He is still contributing now too. Great story.
August 24, 200521 yr you know if he plays for another 5 years.... he could get to 3000 is he a hall of famer then? he has said he wants to play to 50 previously...would he stick around if there is an outside shot?
August 24, 200521 yr Before every season, one of the first things I notice is "omg this guy is still playing", I think the guy is insane every single year, but he always proves he me wrong. This guy is amazing.
August 24, 200521 yr He's a favorite of mine. He was a favorite of my grandfather's when he was a teenager, too.

What about the 5 years that he didn't play in the MLB (played in Japan, Mexico, etc.). That makes his numbers interesting
August 25, 200521 yr franco has about 3400 hits between the MLB, Japan, Mexico, and Korea. he's on the jesus-juice though
August 25, 200521 yr Author He's a favorite of mine. He was a favorite of my grandfather's when he was a teenager, too. 913342[/snapback] :lol :notworthy
