You start to feel older when (1) a player you watched play is hired as a manager; (2) a player you watched play ends up in the booth announcing games.

The closest one of those for me would be Aaron Boone or Cora. I don't remember either one playing, but I was certainly alive and well during that time

What about Jose Canseco? I'm pretty sure he still plays for the CornBelters.

You were too young in 2007 when Cora got his first World Series ring with the Red Sox?
