49-year-old Jamie Moyer makes the Rockies starting rotation

Jamie Moyer has a history of defying the odds, so maybe we shouldn’t be surprised at this point, but Rockies’ manager Jim Tracy announced last night that the 49-year-old left-hander has won a spot in the team’s starting rotation. He’ll start the second game of the season on April 7 against the Astros.

The story's only three paragraphs long.  Here's the kicker--Moyer had TJ surgery and was out all of last year!
