Julio Franco Playing for the Fort Worth Cats

In 2006, Julio Franco became the oldest player to ever hit a home run in the Majors. Earlier this week, Franco returned to baseball with the Fort Worth Cats.

And the man can still hit. According to this tweet, Franco has a five-game hitting streak after going 2-for-5 tonight.

Julio Franco extended his hitting streak to five games going 2-for-5 on the night with two singles. He has at least a hit in every game.

It was cool to hear that Franco had signed with the Cats, but the fact that he's still crushing the ball at 55 years old is just amazing.
