It's amazing that at the age of 45, Jamie Moyer was able to through 8 innings of shut out baseball tonight, including over 5 innings of no-hit baseball. It's rare that a guy his age can even continue to play baseball at all, but to pitch at his caliber at this point in his career is nothing short of astonishing. He's 7-3 now with a 4.1 ERA, and a 1.37 ERA - nothing overwhelming, but not half bad in Phillies stadium, one of the best hitters parks in history. Congrats to him for continuing to defy odds and prove that with hard work and determination you can defy expectations.
