I was shocked when I saw Johnny P playing for St. Louis and here is Julio Franco alive and kicking

Still better than 2/3 of the current Reds team

Only reason he isn't better than the top 1/3 is the fact he's 56

I went to a kids one day camp at Municipal (with the help of baseball reference) in 1986. Franco was one of the fielding instructors (along with Joe Carter, the great Andy Allanson and some others and most of the coaches). He seemed old to me then... of course I was 13...I guess he'd have been 27 or 28. That was like 30 fucking years ago.
