Catcher Erik Kratz has been awesome for the Brewers so far in the post-season despite being the oldest player to make his play-offs debut since 1905.
So, here’s Rick and Len’s signs you might be too old to be playing the the National League Championship Series.
If your glove is as leathery as the skin on your face…you might be too old to be playing in the NLCS.
If you celebrate getting your million-dollar signing bonus by sending each of your grandchildren a check for five dollars…you might be too old to be playing in the NLCS.
If you typically spend the first 3 innings of every game yelling at the opposing infielders to “get off my lawn” …you might be too old to be playing in the NLCS.
If your drug test turns up positive for Centrum Silver and Metamucil…you might be too old to be playing in the NLCS.
If you’re less concerned about breaking your 11 straight win streak than you are about breaking your hip …you might be too old to be playing in the NLCS.
If your best infield chatter involves calling the batter a “whippersnapper” …you might be too old to be playing in the NLCS.
If your face is as wrinkled and covered in stray hairs as Rose O Donnell’s nut sack…you might be too old to be playing in the NLCS.
If your idea of a “two-bagger” is a contemporary who has both urinary and colostomy ones…you might be too old to be playing in the NLCS.
If you’re less prone to fouling off a pitch than you are to fouling your pants…you might be too old to be playing in the NLCS.
If your idea of a “dead ball” is the one the doctor removed because it had a lump on it…you’re definitely too old to be playing in the NLCS.
But none of these apply to Erik Kratz so he’s not too old to be playing in the NLCS.
