Old men keeping Dodgers afloat

Phil Gurnee ♦ April 18, 2018 ♦ 1 Comment

Baseball is a young man’s game but right now, but when you sort by descending age you find the best hitters at the top of the list. Logan Forsythe gets in the way but Chase, Matt, and Yaz are three of the four oldest position Dodgers and they are the top three hitters on the team as of April 18th.
