YOUTH

The Cincinnati Reds are so much fun to watch these days. They had three straight sell-out games last weekend. One thing that makes it fun is the age of the players. Just take a look at the ages of the new core of the pitching staff.

Johnny Cueto 24
Jordan Smith 24
Homer Bailey 24
Travis Wood 23
Mike Leake 22

Amazing!

I remember realizing one day, many years ago, that some players were younger than me and that I probably wouldn't make it into the Big Leagues. Then, I remember the realization that all players were younger than me. Now, I just realized that even the manager, Dusty Baker, is younger than me. WTF is going on here?
