Hmm, besides Moyer and Omar Vizquel, are there any active players who began their MLB careers in the 80s?

I don't believe so ... Tim Wakefield is a year older than Vizquel but started his career in the 90s.

too bad. he will likely never be the 2nd guy ever on that list to get his ass kicked by Tawny Kitaen.

Now that Smoltz, Big Unit, Glavine, Mussina, and Griffey have retired, I believe that Jamie Moyer and Omar Vizquel are the only active MLBers that began their career in the 1980s.

In the interest of thoroughness, Gary Sheffield is still a free agent and not officially retired. The likelihood that he is ever signed doesn't seem very high. Sheff began his career with Milwaukee in 1988 and played for the Mets last season.

For those that don't know, this topic works best in the another forum called the "Sports Talk" forum here on the CU Message Boards.

My apologies ... I will put it in that forum next time. I guess you should not have added to the thread then. LOL

I think Pudge Rodriguez is the closest to that starting his career in 1991

The more interesting list is how many current major leaguers were born AFTER Moyer made his major league debut (6-16-86)? I'm sure the list is actually larger than we might expect...

A small sample that I'm pretty sure were born after Moyer made his debut: Phil Hughes, Clayton Kershaw, Justin Upton, Pablo Sandoval, Mike Stanton, Chris Volstad, Cameron Maybin, Heyward, Mike Leake, Andrew McCutcheon, Austin Jackson, Michael Brantley, Jay Bruce, Jose Tabata, Stephen Strasburg, Drew Storen, Mike Matusz, Vin Mazzaro, Josj Thole, Everth Cabrera, Gerrardo Parra, Buster Posey, Tom Hanson, Matt Latos, Starlin Castro, Dan Hudson, Beckham, Jason Castro, Travis Wood, Ryan Perry, Rick Porcello, Jon Niese, Madison Bumgarner, Colby Rasmus, Pedro Alvarez, Alcides Escobar and more...
