Scoreboards

5. Mark Teixeira
Mark Teixeira was regarded as one of the slowest starters in the game, however things have changed. He is having an incredible season, is leading in home runs and the baseball scoreboards show that he is on his way to scoring 50 home runs for the first time ever in his career. Teixeira has a history of producing exhilarating performances in the second half of the season, and if this happens this season then he will surely be a strong contender for the MVP.

In a sport that has been called ageless, an old MLB player is a fairly common sight. Where football players rarely make it into their 30s and basketball stars are done in by their mid 30s, the average MLB player age can run into the late 40s, with the player still being an effective team member. The oldest current MLB player reinforces this point.
