Went down a rabbit trail the other day after something made me curious about an athlete's age.
Michael Jordan -- 58
Larry Bird -- 65
Magic Johnson -- 62
Isiah Thomas -- 60
Don Mattingly (childhood hero) -- 60
And that led me to look at actors, which was even more sobering.
Sylvester Stallone -- 75
Arnold Schwarzenegger -- 75
Bruce Willis -- 66
Tom Cruise -- 59
Michael J Fox -- 60
Mr. T -- 69
Harrison Ford -- 79
Hard to fathom that Sly, The Terminator and Indy are nearly octogenarians. Won't say all these of guys were my "idols" but they were all an integral part of the 1980s experience for me.
Time marches on. Now I know how my dad felt when seeing guys like Mantle drop off the scene.
