Franco Is Back With the Braves
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA, July 18 (AP) — Julio Franco will get another chance to swing the bat in the big leagues.
Franco, a 48-year-old utilityman, signed with Atlanta on Wednesday, rejoining the Braves a week after he was cut by the Mets. He played for the Braves as a backup from 2001 to 2005. He is a 24-year veteran with 2,576 career hits and is a lifetime .298 hitter.
He hit only .200 (10 for 50) with one home run this year.
Franco played sparingly for the Mets this season, starting only six times, but he provided leadership in the Mets’ clubhouse and mentored several of the team’s younger players. Manager Willie Randolph said he hoped Franco could achieve his goal of playing at age 50, but added that there was a reason he would not have that chance with the Mets.
“The clubhouse stuff is totally overrated,” Randolph told reporters in San Diego. “You have to play, you have to produce.”
This season, Franco became the oldest player to hit a home run in major league history.
Ben Shpigel contributed reporting from San Diego.

Willie OTM. I like that there are still players older than me out there, but WTF, Schuerholz, this is fucking dumb.

Tho instead of "I," I should refer to "the plethora of people that don't feel the need to defend an overrated catcher."
