I read another stat about virtually-43-year old Tim Wakefield in today's Boston Globe that I want to share:

"Wakefield is the oldest first-time All-Star since the - and this is one time the word is not being abused - legendary Satchel Paige made the AL squad at age 46 (supposedly) in 1953."

Dang!

Although I looked it up, and Paige was on the 1952 All-Star team, even though he didn't pitch.

Either way, how about that?

UPDATE: Of course Gordon Edes of Yahoo! Sports got the 1952 thing right: "Old knuckleballer cracks first All-Star team".
