Lots of talk about the reliance on aging players on the Phillies. The 2014 Phillies are on track to have 5 players over the age of 34 (34 and over to be specific) to qualify for the batting title (Byrd, Utley, Howard, Ruiz, Rollins). This would make them only the third team since 1901 to do so. One of the others was the 1945 White Sox (Cuccinello, Hockett, Moses, Schalk, Dickshot). What was the other team (slightly closer to us) and who were the players?
I'm thinking Yankees , but they kept changing older players. 2009-Posada, Damon, Matsui,Jeter, A-Rod?
The year before they had Giambi and Abreu, Posado, Jeter and A-Rod
