Agreed, the old timers games were awesome, but now seems like they only time to see old greats is during that stupid celebrity softball game during the AS break.
I remember seeing footage of a 72 year old Luke Appling going yard at Comiskey Park (I'll see if I can find a link), and just watched the other week some really great footage of 60-70 year old Sadaharu Oh going deep in an old timers game. Really is a mystery to me why there aren't more of these, especially during something like an AS break.
Nevermind, it was in DC... And he was 75!!!
