39 years old and about to retire from the Marine Corps with 21 years of service!!! But my wife thinks I'm 10.

Hell - I just bought my tickets for the Metallica, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkuit, Deftones concert!!!

Can anyone beat 13?

Gastric ReFlux · 03-19-2003, 03:36 PM

I'm older than I once was, and I'm younger than I'll be.

Tyke · 03-19-2003, 05:19 PM

55 and still got my own teeth.

Sweed · 03-19-2003, 05:25 PM

43. I was a little surprised to see all the 20 somethings and expected a few more in my bracket. I am glad to see it though speaks well for the future of text sims.

That's not unusual. No it isn't strange.

Shorty · 03-19-2003, 05:42 PM

I must be slipping in my old age.

smeyers003 · 03-19-2003, 05:52 PM

I'm 16 and i love OOTP. I am a huge fan of baseball and an even bigger fan of sims. I've been playing strat-o-matic since i was 4.

Dave Hansen · 03-19-2003, 05:53 PM

Can anybody top 55??!!

I remember seeing Willie Mays play at the Polo Grounds and watching Bill Mazeroski circle the bases after his game winning HR against the Yanks in Forbes Field in the 1960 WS. I watched on black and white TV as Maris hit his 61st* HR.

GO CARDS!

I'm 25 and I hope i'm like you "older" guys when (if) I get there.

Recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of my 19th birthday (44).

Started by wearing out basepaths in the back yard and breaking out windows. The yard grew back when I went to college.

Then softball until too old for that.

Text sims are our future for the old fogies here. Baseball strikes. Who cares. We've got 100 years of stats to work with and fictional leagues.
