Oh, I don't say it won't happen, just that the odds are against it. You have to be at the top of this difficult game for a long time to put up numbers like that. Besides age, one major injury could ruin everything. Plus, you bring up another point in your last sentence that I was not even thinking about before, and that is another major consideration.
