We arrive at the idea, that baseball is no strenuous, no competitive sport?

Pete Rose only hung around to get the Hits title and because he was a player mgr.
Chelios played until he was 47, Jagr is what 44? Hockey tends to have tons of guys that play forever. Nolan Ryan played for 27 seasons. With the exception of Ryan it's hard to find more then a handful of players who are still at the top of their game after 20 seasons. Cal Ripken is one that comes to mind.
