How old was Satchel Paige the last time he pitched in a major league game? I read once that they weren't sure of his correct date of birth.

After no major league team would put him on its roster when he was 46, Rickey Henderson didn't want to stop playing baseball, so he played for a San Diego team called the Surf Dawgs which was below the minor league "A" level. His teammates were about half his age.

That’s all true, but Bartolo Colon like I said, he looks like he should be playing Beer League Softball on Tuesday Night in some recreation league, not pitching in MLB...
