Jose Rijo & Jamie Moyer

Too fun!

I got Jose Rijo and Jamie Moyer also.

I got Aramis Ramirez and Bartolo Colon.

Wow, I think it was Dave Winfield for me too. He was the last player in baseball older than me (born Aug 1952).

I would think Phil Niekro, Tommy John and Nolan Ryan would come up.

Bartolo Colon | Me | Miguel Castro

Wilson Alvarez/Mariano Rivera. I can't wait till frankbmd does his :D.

Fred Enrique - Julio Franco

Aroid (yuck) and Bartolo Colon

Rich Garces / Darren Oliver

That's funny!

Adrian Beltre and Bartolo Colon

GREAT Idea foe a Thread!! Thanks


Mine are Dan Rohn & Danny Darwin

Miguel Garcia - Jamie Moyer. Felt like I was on Price is Right swimming that thing backwards on the year.

Same!

Miguel Garcia / Jamie Moyer

I got the same ones. Alvarez seems pretty amazing,

Wilson Alvarez was the first player to debut who was younger than you. He was born on ‎3‎/‎24‎/‎1970 and he made his debut on ‎7‎/‎24‎/‎1989, so he was 19! Learn more about him at Retrosheet.


That makes me doubt the accuracy, for me there's almost a 7 year difference between us, I can't imagine that nobody born somewhere in between started in the majors between 1982 and 89

They use Minoso too on the old end which is essentially meaningless as his very late appearances were just publicity stunts.

still counts. Lots of guys in majors who were not as good as others in minors or negro leagues or whatever and were there for politics or just being friends with the manager and not on ability....so thats a long winding road.

Looks like A-rod beat me to the majors....

Gary Sheffield/Omar Vizquel

Me too

He did get a hit in his 1976 try, which is far better than I'd manage.


Yes, batted in a cage that had ML speed, managed one foul tip that barely touched the bat in 40 pitches. Not much chance of hitting live pitching....

Benji Gil/Raul Ibanez , who would have thought.

Fernando Valenzuela and Julio Franco

Wilson Alvarez/Mariano Rivera

Any time I get to remember “El Guapo” makes me chuckle!

Ditto! Pretty cool for me, Omar was my favorite player ever that I've gotten to see play.

Jon Garland/Bartolo Colon

My Dad got Minoso as his endcap

Willie Montanez

debuted in 1966

Nolan Ryan

Never heard of him.:D

See post above.:eek:

These are mine as well. I was born 10-30-1956.

Frank are those for your wife or grandson?:D:D

First player younger than you: Ed Correa was the first player to debut who was younger than you. He was born on 4/29/1966 and he made his debut on 9/18/1985, so he was 19!

Last player older than you: Jamie Moyer was the last player older than you to play in the majors. He was born on 11/18/1962 and last played on 5/27/2012, so he was 49. Sorry, pal, it's not gonna happen for you.

Me: Brian Greer and Jesse Orosco.

My dad: Bud Swartz and Minnie Minoso

No, they are my own, but questions of this nature need to specify which wife or which grandson going forward.

As the Sondheim line goes, it's not so hard being married, I've done it three or four times.

Youngest - Fred Manrique ; 1st game 8/23/81

Andruw Jones/Bartolo Colon

That was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing the link man.

Frank, my father got the same endcaps as you, Willie Montanez and Nolan Ryan. Pretty cool.

I will neither expect to receive from nor send a birthday card to your father.:eek:
