LaTroy Hawkins notched his 100th career save on Sunday.
The 40-year-old, pitching for the New York Mets this season, plans to return in 2014.
"The guys always give me [guff] about my age and make fun of it, but I think deep down inside they wish they can still be playing the game at 40," Hawkins said. "And I hope some of them are, but when all is said and done that is what they always say: 'I wish I could be playing the game at 40.' But I say, 'Make enough money and you probably won't have to.'"
Hawkins has an eye toward reaching 1,000 career appearances. He stands at 941.
