| I am noticing that older players are not recieving adequate playing time.You get a young guy that commits to the team ,but shows up when he want's to.I see that their is no disipline in the league.

| Hey Babe. That's a pretty general statement. The Raptors had four guys over 40 years old play regularly last year and most everybody else is in their late 20s or over 30. We had only two guys who were under 25. I know that's not quite up there in your age group. If you did manage to fake your death in 1948 and have been living in hiding with Elvis all these years, you'd be 118 years old. We're not quite that decrepit yet, but we're workin on it. And you can come try out. We need lefty power.

| Hey Babe,
I know for a fact that I kept the book in a Rock River League Playoff game in 2012 that a 47 year old started and got the win. He didn't quite go the distance but made it into the 9th.

| The Raptors had a 54-year-old pitch seven strong innings for the victory in our third playoff win last season.

| I think the problem here is perspective. Babe Ruth would turn 118 yrs old this season. It is tough to crack any lineup at that age...
