The ageless Jamie Moyer, 49, is hoping to make the starting rotation for the Colorado Rockies.  If he does that — and if he ends up winning a game for them — he would be the oldest such pitcher to do so in major league history.  The New York Times compiles some fun facts about Mr. Moyer:

• Has more career wins (267) than Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford, Juan Marichal and Catfish Hunter.
• Has faced 23 Hall of Famers.
• Started his career before 15 players on Rockies’ 40-man roster were born — including four pitchers now competing with him for a rotation spot.
• Has played in 49 ballparks, including 14 that no longer stand.
• Older than 8 current major league managers.
• Older than 16 current major league general managers.
• From ages 27 to 29, Moyer was 2-11.
• From ages 38 to 40, Moyer was 54-21.
• Career leader in home runs allowed (511).
• Started the last game before lights were installed at Wrigley Field.
• Beat the Hall of Famer Steve Carlton in his first major league game.
• Second in career wins after age 40, with 103 (Phil Niekro had 121).
• Beat the 1986 world champion Mets and the 1998 world champion Yankees.
• Born Nov. 18, 1962, four months before the Beatles released their first album in Britain.
