Homers at age 45+

Another interesting bit of trivia from Baseball Almanac online:

Of the 25 homers ever hit in the majors by a player age 45 or older, 20 of them were hit in recent years by one player: Julio Franco. The ageless one hit 8 at age 45 (Cap Anson hit 3 at that age way back when, and Carlton Fisk, one), 9 at age 46 (including two in one game, and one grand slam)(ageless pitcher Jack Quinn also hit one at 46), 1 at age 47 and 2 at age 48, the last at age 48 years and 254 days on May 4 last year.

As a sidenote, I'm grateful to have seen the ageless wonder hit an RBI double in a game for the Mets against his former teammates in Atlanta at age 47 in 2006. He also stole a base in that game!
