The 2007 New York Mets roster had an amazingly high number of players over 40.
Whenever there’s not much going on in the baseball world, I like to look back at older seasons and see if any number jumps out at me. Usually, there’s a high batting average from a guy on the bench with 200+ plate appearances I feel inspired to write about.
