Mad Monday - Today's pitching oddity

PHI: Moyer (1-2) vs. ARZ: Scherzer (0-0), 9:40 p.m. ET
Jamie Moyer is 45 years old. Monday Night he faces "Mad" Max Scherzer in Phoenix, the first start for Scherzer in his young Major League career. If he's anything like his relief debut, Scherzer is the odds-on favorite here. Moyer pitched his first major league game on June 16, 1986 for the Chicago Cubs. Exactly 41 days later the St. Louis-born Scherzer turned two.

I am going to vote for the old dog! I like it when older players have still got what it takes!
