When baseball fans see the name Julio Franco, we all think of the same thing: agelessness. In 2006, he spent his season as a member of the New York Mets where he would do something he had not done since his rookie year in 1982.
Somehow still able to play baseball at a good level at age 47, Franco was called upon to play third base for the Mets in 2006. From 1999 until this point, the only position he played in the field was first base.
As a person who first became a baseball fan in the mid-1990s, I always viewed Franco as a first baseman/designated hitter.
