7 0 All Jaydawg^3063 Julio Franco ends his almost triple decade career at age 49 5/04/08, 01:03am Kudos to Franco for hanging around and simply playing for the love of the game. He made his debut for the Phillies in April 1982 when I was finishing up the second grade. Amazing baseball career, but is he a Hall of Famer? Nah, not even close... :) [Jaydawg from Tarzana/CA] Replies:
