Either older or younger than you think.

I find it pretty surprising that Chris Berman is not even 70. Seems like he was an old timer back in the 90s.

Still blows my mind that Roger Federer isn’t even in his mid 40s yet either.

Aaron Judge is 32. Feels like he was in his rookie season only 5 or so years ago.

Federer only seemed old as shite because most great tennis players retired in their very early 30’s.

Hell, Andy Roddick is younger than Fed and has been retired for over a decade.

Berman started at espn in 1979 when he was like 23 yrs old. He's basically a prime baby boomer, born in the 1950s.

Gronk is 35 while Travis Kelce is 34. That’s wild to me. Feels like Gronk should be like 40 and Kelce should be 30.

I was on IG a few days ago and someone posted a video of Kansas City A’s legend Bobby Shantz looking at 1952 baseball cards at a baseball card show and saying who he knew and who he was friends with.

This dude is 98 years old and won the American League MVP award in 1952.

Not only is he alive (which I didn’t know), he is going to baseball card shows, signing autographs, and interacting with fans.
