OK, i’m not sure thats entirely accurate but I figure he’s broken every other oldest man record at this point, why stop now.

Deadspin reports, via a story on the official site of the Mexican League, that Julio Franco has announced his retirement.

Godspeed Julio, we enjoyed having you spend some time with us, telling us how many miles you used to have to walk in the snow to get to school, etc. My favorite Julio Franco moment was when Hot Foot Jr. met him in camp and made fun of a Braves fan. Check out the clip below.
