I want you to take a look at this introspection on one of the craziest careers in MLB history. Julio Franco was one of my favorite players, as he just continued his career year after year. It was a career that defined perseverance.
Don't lose this article. Enter your email below, and I'll send it to you right now. Plus, we'll send you other unbelievable stories from baseball's past.
It was a career that inspired so many people to say that age is just a number.
Jolly Olive does a great job of encapsulating the full career of this legend. Yes, I am going to say legend because Julio Franco did many things that no other baseball player had ever done. I like that, in this video, the longer it went, the more impressed I got.
Yes, I knew most of this stuff, but it's cool to be reminded of those accomplishments again.
Even though Franco didn't have quite the peak numbers that Hall of Famers have, there is a case that could be made for him to get into the Hall of Fame based on longevity alone. I will say that that's not for me to decide. Maybe you can watch this video and decide for yourself.
