The guy played 25 years and had a .298 lifetime average. What an amazing athlete he was.

[@ryansack5198]

Very underrated. Multi time all star and consistently hit .300 with decent power in the 90’s

[@ogvektor]

slashed .295/.367/.447 with a 110 OPS+ and even had a 73% stolen base rate from ages 44-46. insane longevity

[@timd8912]

I was at this game. Julio was 295 years old.....

[@jamesvaughn2541]

Loved having this guy in Atlanta.

[@yairolnoel2984]

Crazy he was still playing tilt 49 years old that’s crazy

[@poshko41]

Greatest batting stance of all time. Well, maybe after Tony Batista.

[@fabioochoa2291]

[@juanc3242]

He never got as much credit as he deserved. 0.298 life BA over a 25 years career. Not bad at all!

[@alejandromorenoc3194]

Julio César Franco is the best batter I've seen in summer Mexican League. He left good memories among Mexico City Tigers Fans, he was Champion bat above .400. It looks like he is eternal, excelent physical condition for a Veteran ballplayer.

Happy 60th (?) birthday,Julio Franco !!!!You were a real treasure !!!!! (Can Bartolo Colon,45,go on until he's 49 ?)

[@TWOCRUNK4U]

He was my favorite player growing up cuz he was on the rangers. i remember we used to mimic his batting stance but could never make contact 😆 🤣 it was super fun like tryin to swing a golf club like happy gilmore lol😅

[@amgxpat]

How did he stay healthy for so long? Dude looks built like a tank

[@erocs9747]

Thought he signed 2 year deal with the mets at the end ?

[@BaseballRoscoe25]

his diet and lifestyle, he eats a lot of fish, rice and veggies, and hardly no sugars

[@landonloukos9442]

No sugar so no fruits?

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

@@erocs9747 the mets released him late in the 2nd year, and the braves signed him

[@nofood1]

[@josephholloway1745]

One of my all time favorites !

[@eduhred5341]

Was best Texas Ranger as far as batting average I ever witnessed.

[@kingcoder6592]

I miss the old braves

[@mightyminifarm]

Kinda hard to get excited about today’s team when you grew up with Chipper, Andruw, Smoltz, Glavine, Furcal, Lopez, Franco, Maddux and the one and only Bobby Cox

[@alexvratsanos5227]

To think that Kelly Johnson, the player he drove in, was born just two months before Franco’s MLB debut…

[@TheJETSFANSINCE96]

Great New York Met

[@erocs9747]
