The two time Cy Young Award winner-and the last 30 game winner-by the age of 25,has become an octogenarian.
Since he was suspended from MLB in 1970 for attempting to become a bookmaker,you wonder what odds he would have given himself at the time of his prospect of reaching today,given his poor health habits and wild lifestyle(which eventually led to 2 prison terms)?
He drank a case of Pepsi every day,leading to his weight of over 360 lbs.Plus,he flew his own place,once flying a fugitive out of the USA for 160K.
To think that I was astonished at the medical profession being able to keep alive Joe Biden all of this time.
This one is better.

Why would it be comparable to keeping Joe Biden alive? Does Joe lead an unhealthy lifestyle?

Love those '68 Tigers! I wore my little league cap just like McClain.

For a guy who drank like a fish, possibly abused cocaine , ate himself to over 350 lbs. and is still alive today at 80… way to go Boomer.
