Rich Hill races Miguel Cabrera in MLB’s senior Olympics

Two of baseball’s elder statesmen discovered themselves in a footrace on Thursday afternoon and it was the slowest, most compelling dash of all time.

It was a case of age earlier than magnificence as Wealthy Hill (43) edged out Miguel Cabrera (40). Positive, technically the scorecard will present that Cabrera was out at first, however each males have been actually winners. After the play was executed the pair smiled at one another, catching their breath and realizing they aren’t spring chickens anymore, and even fall chickens — are winter chickens a factor? What’s a winter rooster?

In any occasion, the stat we’re all dying for is the highest pace these icons reached. These two confronted one another 18 YEARS AGO again on June 15, 2005. To provide you an thought of what was occurring when Hill and Cabrera confronted off then:

• Batman Begins was launched
• We Belong Collectively by Mariah Carey was the No. 1 music on the Billboard charts, whereas Gwen Steffani’s Hollaback Woman was No. 2
• Rafael Nadal had simply gained his FIRST French Open title
• Three days after the Hill/Cabrera sport David Tennant starred within the first return episode of Dr. Who
• Michael Schumacher gained the US Grand Prix the next weekend

Feeling previous? Good. My job right here is completed.
