Softball pitcher, 93, battles rival, 86
BALDWIN HARBOR, N.Y. - Between them, they had more than 150 years of experience. But in the end, seniority might still have been an advantage when a 93-year-old pitcher took on an 86-year-old rival in a seniors' softball game.
The elder pitcher, Mickey Werner, gave up just one run in three innings, helping his Long Island Senior Softball League team to a 9-6 win Wednesday. Opposing pitcher and relative youngster Paul Rotter allowed nine runs in six innings.
Each faced the other only once at the plate. Werner drew a walk, and Rotter singled. Pinch runners replaced both on the basepaths.

You have to be 68 to play in this league? I can't wait until Danny Amonte starts dominating those old guys in 39 years.
