You know you’ve truly arrived as an athlete when you’ve been used as a clue on “Jeopardy!” In Julio Franco’s case, he can now list that along with his accomplishments.
Franco was mentioned as a clue during Wednesday’s edition of “Jeopardy!” for playing in MLB at age 49 and playing pro ball in Japan at age 57.
Julio Franco gets a Jeopardy shout out, & someone actually got it right! $2000 should be "who is Matt Franco" #Mets https://t.co/47JvBEgUMW

Franco played 23 seasons in the majors, most notably becoming an All-Star from 1989-1991. He led the league in batting average in ’91. That was 25 years ago. The guy is still playing pro ball. I guess when you love something that much, you never give it up.
And at least give credit to the contestant for getting it right and not going viral for missing a sports question like this.
