Default Jim O'Rourke hit .250 at age 54 !!
Posted By: Kevin Cummings

Warren Spahn and Dazzy Vance were pretty darn good pitchers for "old timers."

Spahn won 75 games from the age of 40 on up, twice winning 20+ games and going 23 - 7 with a 2.60 ERA at age 42.

For all intents and purposes, Dazzy Vance's major league career didn't start until he was 31. He then proceeded to win 197 games and compile a 3.24 ERA.
