Jamie Moyer is my grandfather

How the hell is this guy still pitching in the big leagues?  I mean, he was a decent pitcher back when I was 7 years old but I'm 30 now.  He's 5-2 and his numbers haven't drop off significantly.  Does this mean that these players of a comparable age could still be striking out major leaguers?  Keep in mind Moyer was born in 1962.  It's now 2010.

Doug Drabek - 1962 - Won the Cy Young Award back in 1990.  His son is now a top prospect with the Blue Jays.




Bret Saberhagen - 1964 - Won the Cy Young for the Royals in 1989 with an amazing 23-6 record and a 2.16 ERA.  Also won the award in 1985!  This guy is younger than Jamie Friggin Moyer.



Black Jack McDowell - 1966 - This former AL Cy Young Winner last pitched in 1999.  If he'd been eating Magic Moyer Munchies all this time he could still have 4 years left in that arm.



All the respect, grandpaps.

Zarley.
