Julio Franco #683

This week: the mailbag is FULL, the ageless Julio Franco shows Dave that life begins at 40, and somehow we talk about Julio’s entire career in around 30 minutes! Thanks to 3 listeners for submitting questions. Julio played 30+ years in the Majors, Minors, winter ball, NPB, Korea, Mexico! He compiled more than 4000 hits, homered with his grandson in the stands, and is the oldest player to hit an MLB Grand Slam. He had an iconic stance and a truly unique and wonderful career.
