Is Julio Franco 87 years old?

Well, my brother thinks there's a decent possibility that the Braves first baseman is something more than human. I have to say, I wouldn't be surprised. There has to be more going on there than "Jesus Juice."

.

And heeeere's Steve:

I was watching The Two Towers extended yesterday, and there was the scene where Eowyn gives Aragorn the bowl of stew and they're talking and she says that he rode into war with Theoden's grandfather or something. And she tries to figure out how old he is and it finally comes out that he's 87 and she realizes that he's a Dunedain and all that.

One of these days, the same thing is going to happen with Julio Franco. Someone's going to find a picture of him in some long-lost Negro league photograph from the 40's and we'll realize that all this time he was actually an heir to the great Numenorean baseball players of the west.

Or something like that.
