Thanks For The Memories, Jules

Julio Franco announced his retirement from baseball Wednesday at the ripe ol' age of 112. No! He's really 49.

Yes, as in *almost* AARP age!

Here's what his career numbers look like. That list just goes on and on and on and on and...well, you get the idea:


He was an awesome clutch hitter, he'd do anything Bobby Cox asked him to do when he was with the Atlanta Braves and the players in the clubhouse really looked up to him.

A major league career batting average of .298 and 2,586 hits -- that ain't too shabby.

Julio César Robles Franco will be missed in the big leagues...


Even at the age of 111 48, when he last played for the Braves, homegirl was still built like a brick shithouse.
