Longtime major-league infielder Jose Vizcaino, 39, now a special assistant with the Dodgers, said he hasn't completely ruled out coming back as a player next season. Originally signed by the Dodgers out of the Dominican Republic, Vizcaino spent 18seasons in the majors with eight different clubs, including two stints with the Dodgers. He last played in the majors in 2006 with St. Louis, when his career ended because of an injury.

Remember teams, he is '39' and he's from the Dominican Republic. Which means he's actually 44, but of course they 'will have trouble locating the original birth certificate'.

When you read an article like this you need to shake your head. It's true that moden medicine and expert sports trainers / physicians have greatly extended players' ability to continue on as productive players who contribute to team success ... but ... on the flip side younger and younger kids are coming up too, and the disparity in speed and strength has to be considered. Meanwhile, he's aging by the day so if you want back in, do it now or shaddup already.
