In light of the news out of New York this morning, it's time for me to enter the Way Back Machine and recycle something I wrote here back in June 2006, having first eliminated all references to whatever the Jays happened to be doing that day...

A-Rod was 29 last season, and as I documented yesterday, only one man in major league history had scored more runs than Alex Rodriguez by the age of 29.
