The Arizona Diamondbacks rotation: Logan's Run in action

When Zack Greinke takes the mound on Opening Day 2016, it'll be something we never saw at all last season - a starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks whose age doesn't start with a 2.

For those who don't know, Logan's Run was a classic science-fiction film (previously, a novel) made in 1976, starring Michael York and Jenny Agutter. It depicted a society which kept population in check by killing anyone off when they turned 30, and sending hunters, called "Sandmen", to track down those who tried to avoid their fate. How you feel about that concept probably depends on which side of 30 you site, but it has been strangely applicable to Arizona recently.
