A lot of these guys are getting into their 90's so not much of a shock. Other than so many going at nearly the same time.

Don Sutton, Baseball Hall of Famer and member of 300-win club, dies at 75​

The baseball world has lost a Hall of Famer. Longtime starting pitcher Don Sutton died in his sleep this week, according to his son. Sutton was 75.

A model of durability, Sutton racked up 324 wins (14th all-time), 3,574 strikeouts (seventh all-time) and 5,282 1/3 innings (seventh all-time). He holds the MLB record for 200-inning seasons at 20. He's tied for fifth with 15 seasons of at least 225 innings. In the first 15 years of his career, all with the Dodgers, Sutton averaged 249 innings per season.

Sutton ranks third all-time in career starts. Here's the leaderboard:

1. Cy Young, 815
2. Nolan Ryan, 773
3. Don Sutton, 756

​

He kicked Steve Garvey's ass once as well, so he had that going for him too.

Hank Aaron was my Number One boyhood hero until Jimi Hendrix came along and then he was Number Two hero.
He has remained a hero to me over the years and I vividly remember my tennis team playing a team that Hank played on.
He was a good tennis player in his 60's and very good hand-eye coordination.
It was one of my coolest memories talking with him after his match was over.

Picking up the balls at the net doesn't count as actually playing, nonetheless, great effort.
