There is going to be seven starting pitchers today in the Major Leagues over the age of 40. This will break the MLB record set just last week when there were six starters over 40 taking the mound in the same day. Roger Clemens, John Smoltz, Greg Maddux, Jamie Moyer, Kenny Rogers, Tom Glavine, and Woody Williams all get the starting nod today for their respective team. Each of these guys are role models for all up and coming professional baseball players.

Did Kenny Rogers cheat is the question swirling the day after the Tigers won game two 3-1. I would say by the pictures and footage I have seen he most certainly did in the first inning of last night’s game and also in previous ones during the playoffs. The substance he had on his left hand is not “a big clump of dirt” that Rogers called it, but it does look like pine tar. St. Louis Cardinals batters said the ball was doing some crazy things in the first inning when the suspicion was sparked. The funny thing was the second inning the substance was gone and Rogers still mowed down Cardinal hitters. Shame on you Kenny, but you were at least smart enough to get rid of it in quick fashion. I can assure you this won’t be the last time we hear about this little ordeal.
