Julio Franco is a 47 year-old major league baseball player (yeah, still playing).  He has a unique way of doing things that many attribute to his longevity.  This includes the drink/shake, whatever it is.  I heard the ingredients on some show, but I cannot remember what they are.  If somebody knows and will tell me, I would be muy grateful.  Thank you.

I wish I knew! Atlanta (where I hale from) called him the ageless wonder. I would love to know the answer. You could contact him. I don't know who he plays for now, but if you go to his teams web site, they have a way you can contact the players. You might want to try that.

This is a good one.  I put laxatives in her drinks on our last date.  The video one is good that you did, one of the best.  There should be a site dedicated to getting these beetches back.

He played last year in Toledo at AAA level,  he played a whole four innings in the whole season.  He had a ERA of 2.25.  I'm not sure if he is playing this season but I'm guessing no. Was that good enough for you?

Well, its generally not a good idea to drink things that are expiried.  HOWEVER, let me tell you why supplement shakes are technically OK to drink.  It has to do with food labeling laws.\n\nAll vitamins/minerals in food supplements (and drinks) decay at a certain rate.  (This is the halflife, etc...).  Some vitaminswill degrade quicker than others.\n\nACCORDING TO THE LAW, at the expiration date, the amount of vitamins/minerals in the shake has to be at that amount or HIGHER.  So, when things are well before their expiration date, they actually more MORE than the amount of vitamins/minerals than what is stated on the package.\n\nSo, if something is past the expiration date, then the vitamin/mineral/etc content will be BELOW the numbers listed in the "nutritent information" section.\n\nHowever, slim fast may be using milk or something else in it.  Generally, in the hospital setting, if tube feedings or supplement shakes are expired, we throw it out.\n\nYou probably should not eat it - but I just wanted to give you some of the law background on supplements.\n\nRegards,\nRyan

A liar from the point of view that no one in the world would either put/drink/inject something into their body unknowingly. As far as you guys saying, "quit hating". Well he got himself into this, he deserves what comes from it. I don't care if he breaks all the records in the world, he still is a cheater and cheaters in my book are losers who can't compete.\nEdit: 6/15/06\nI am sick and tired of people saying that steroids doesn't affect hand and eye coordination as well as bat speed. BS. It may not affect hand and eye coordination enough to be noticeable but it does affect bat speed. You telling me that a guy not on steroids has the same bat speed as one on steroids. No way. Plus you can add length of the batted ball also as being affected. Anyone hitting close to over 500ft per homerun should be looked at even if the batter knew what was coming like in batting practice. Also, I watched a show on the discover channel one day about weightlifting and guys on steroids. Guess what's the first thing to go on a person using steroids for a long time."His knees"......enough said.

Catcher- Solid (but get a backup just in case he gets injured)\nFirst Base- Top 3 at his position, DO NOT LET GO OFF\nSecond Base- Solid, keep him too\nShortstop- Potential AL MVP\nThird Base-Good for 20-25hr,90rbi (only because he will get most of this at Coors)\nOutfield-Bonds is a huge hit or miss, Holliday is kinda in line with that "Coors Effect" and Rowand is a good player, but you can find better\nUtility- 2 slugging 1B in Fielder and Thome (keep them)\nBench-Vidro is a top 10 2b (keep him too)\nStarting Pitching-WISH I HAD YOUR PITCHERS!!! (DO NOT TRADE)\nPitchers-Loaiza is OK. Capuano is a question mark (better hope he repeats last year). Calero is a nice middle reliever. Clemens (you should see his situation) should keep if he decides to come back. Jones is on the DL right now, so you should find another closer to replace him. Wagner is one of the best at what he does, so he should stay. Last but not least, Garland is a great pitcher

i'm so utterly amazed as to why this is such an interest for so many people. i'm okay going my whole life w/o knowing about someone's bodily functions.. but here is the answer:\n\nthe drivers are conditioned.. first, they don't just drink a crapload sunday morning. they hydrate themselves all week long..so their bladder doesn't try to burst during the race. so what they drink on race day is not a shock to their system..\nsecond, most times they do sweat out what they can drink during the race..remember, they don't chug like 80 gallons an hour before the race.. \nalso think about it.. they are in those cars for like an average of 4 hours.. do you have to pee a lot in 4 hours under normal circumstances?? so yeah, people think they are holding it for an eternity, and they really aren't.. they often go right before in the media center before the pre-race anthem and stuff and then if necessary run for it after the race.. \nif for some odd reason they just go in the car..b/c of a long start, or a long red flag it can happen. there are a few driver's who have fessed up about it..and there are a few driver's who have started rumors about other driver's..  the fire suits kind of hide it...but if you ever see a driver douse himself with gatorade or whatever his sponser is that he has to drink before he gets out of the racecar, and it just pooring it overhimself..yeah, it's a cover-up.\nvery rarely would they have to do a #2..only when they *** sick and won't get out of the car for a relief driver.. the rumor about tony is exactly what this refers to.. he had a hell of a case of the stomach flu, but had to eat..and that is one man you could beat to death and he'd still want to race..

Home Run 'Roids\n\n \n\nBeneath the buff\n \n\nBarry Bonds blasted his 715th career home run on Sunday, surpassing baseball legend Babe Ruth's total tally of 714. Bonds now stands second on the all-time home run list, behind another baseball legend--Henry "Hammerin' Hank" Aaron, who hit 755.\n\nBaseball people put Bonds among the all-time greats. But steroids have put him under a cloud. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Bonds told a federal grand jury in 2003 that he used "clear" and "cream" substances his personal trainer said were a nutritional supplement and an arthritis balm. Yet prosecutors say "the clear" and "the cream" were steroids designed to foil steroid tests, and have put people in jail for making them.\n\nThe investigation continues, as does Bonds's pursuit of Hank Aaron's home run record. Meanwhile, we're taking our own look at steroids. Turns out, when the media say "steroids," they almost always mean "androgenic-anabolic steroids," a collection of more than 100 synthetic drugs used by people hoping to boost muscle mass. Yet the generic term "steroids" actually covers a much larger group of substances--some of which you're "on" right now.\n\nRead My Lipids\n\nAlong with lots of water, you're mostly made of four kinds of organic macromolecules: proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, and lipids. Proteins are long chains of amino acids that combine to do lots of jobs for the body. Carbohydrates are chains of sugar molecules strung together to store energy. Nucleic acid is the key ingredient in DNA. And lipids include a variety of naturally occurring steroids.\n\nNever heard of lipids? You may know them by their other names: oils, fats, and waxes. Some lipids store energy. Others help your body keep moisture in or out. Still others, the steroid hormones, carry chemical signals that help you regulate bodily functions.\n\nName Your Steroids\n\nYour body produces steroid hormones in two major places: in your adrenal glands--located on top your kidneys--and in your reproductive organs--testes if you're male, ovaries if you're female. These steroid hormones do important work, but you may only know them by their aliases.\n\nEstradiol, a.k.a. estrogen, is a steroid that helps regulate the female menstrual and ovarian cycles. Cortisol, a.k.a. hydrocortisone, helps regulate inflammation and blood sugar levels. Cholecalciferol, a.k.a. vitamin D, helps regulate your calcium levels. There are others, too. And each derives from a "master" steroid you've surely heard of: cholesterol.\n\nAmong the steroids we haven't mentioned is testosterone, a reproductive hormone that stimulates masculine traits. Testosterone is the natural steroid that androgenic-anabolic steroids (the ones that get all the bad press) try to imitate.\n\nArtificial Adolescence\n\nBoth males and females produce testosterone. In females, testosterone levels remain relatively low throughout life--and often decrease, along with estrogen and progesterone levels, after menopause. In males, testosterone levels take off at adolescence, triggering the various changes that accompany puberty--including increased muscle mass.\n\nIt's this adolescent effect that users of androgenic-anabolic steroids want. They take regular doses of testosterone-aping synthetic steroids to trick their bodies into producing muscle tissue as if they were adolescents again. How much more they get depends on dosage, participation in other muscle-building activities (such as weightlifting), and genetics.\n\nYet users of androgenic-anabolic steroids also get some less-than-sexy side effects. Kidney damage, liver damage, and psychological problems are all common. Women often become more masculine. Men, strangely enough, often get the opposite. When artificial steroids trick a body into thinking it has lots of testosterone, it can stop makin

The guy is undefeated and a champion at 4 different weight classes, meaning he beat four champions to get their title. Without question the man is one of the "all-time" best. He does toot his own horn but as one of my teachers in HS used to say "if you don't toot your own horn who will?"\n\nEverytime he opens a boxing magazine there are articles to help feed his ego, but the articles are based on what he did in the ring, stories that later turn into the basis for historical archives. I've posted PBF's record in several of my answers and won't get redundant here. He beat Castillo, Corrales and Hernandez just to name a few, but those few were top notch themselves. He is in my top ten at SuperFeather for sure.\n\nAddition: The guy is in a lose-lose situation in the eyes of some people. Why? Because if he does fight Oscar, Shane or even Margarito (I'd have to say) those who are obviously not his "biggest fan" are going to say, "Well (so and so) was old or he was already a shot fighter". I guarantee it. Just my opinion put away the rope, ty.

It's not that he is an amazing pitcher now. The reason that people are still riding his jock is that he is still dominating opposing batters after 22 years on the job.\n\nRemember, his first year in the Majors was 1984. Now he is 43 and still shows that he has good stuff. The last person to show that they could still pitch at an older age was Nolan Ryan. Both will be in the Hall of Fame together some day.

myself I think the deal about juicing has NEVER been proved. I mean come on people we are talking about a man that has played 20 years and has compiled some of the best stats EVER, and people want to trash everything he has done on whispers. Damn he started out on a crap team and lead it to be a contender. I think he has every god given right to be in the HOF. Look at some of the old timers in the hall... drunks, wife beaters, gamblers, I need not go on. I by far don't hate Barry and if most of the baseball public would get their heads out of their a$$es and get off the holier than thou seat they wouldn't either. Last I know he played in America ... ya know innocent until PROVEN guilty, and I don't mean people trying to make a quick buck with "tell all" books. Just my thoughts.....

I can't help you with the oldest in the world but the Atlanta Braves (MLB) are the oldest continuous operating professional team in the USA.\n\nCheck the source to read all about them.

No, he is not.  Did you see how poorly he did this season when they were testing for steroids.  I think that he stopped using them this season so he would not get in trouble.  If you use steroids, why do you deserve to be on the all time homerun list? Plus, there's the whole cork in the bat incident.  He had to cheat to get his homeruns.

riverwind is enormous with a burger king and sbarro inside of it. my boyfriend often goes to play texas holdem. as for the alcohol, i have no clue. im not even sure if they serve alcohol.

WTF!!! Thats awesome, I've never heard of such a thing but not only do matches contain sulfur, they also contain potassium chlorate which is used as a pesticide and is to be handled with care when mixing other chemicals, which in better terms could be best understood as to why they would "ingest/consume" them. From what I recall, parents of soldiers and marines here in Texas have special request items such as gatorade, magazines, books, cd's ect. wanted by sons and daughters serving in that country they call "Iraq", and one of the top items requested by many of them was suprisingly dog/cat flea collars. I asked one parent and she mentioned they have a problem with the sand fleas and some other insects and so they wear them around the wrists and ankles to solve that problem and to me that would seem like a more safer and SMARTER alternative than to swallow some chemicals not knowing what could happen to them in years later on in life.

Is your pulse back to normal? Was an actual actuary actually speaking, or was it an acting actuary, actually? You do know how to find entertainment. Did you pay to hear the actuary speak? I get excited watching paint dry (has to be semi gloss latex), but to listen to a real live (but not too alive) actuary, well nothing could top that. What are the chances that this actuary will live until he is 80 and is not involved anytime soon in a life threatening accident. Did you do the math? Is he  into extreme sports such as Chinese Checkers and Connect Four? I wish I had chosen that as my career path, instead I am stuck in  the same old same old as a Formula One race car driver. Some people have all the luck.

I agree with you, but as far as baseball goes, they didn't "catch on" (which isn't a good thing) until the early-mid 80's. I know myself, no joking of a few players who used steroids to get ripped, as in muscle tone and bat speed, and running speed as well as to prolong thier careers. It is a much different "cycle" than those looking to be huge and monsterous. I'll give you a clue on one of them, he played for the Reds and Tigers and his name rhymes with Derek Shavis. People think ball players tak it for one reason: to hit homers. But the effects are much more potent and better when you try to use it for endurance and to get "chisled". How do I know this, I have studied baseball for 10 of my 20 years on this planet, and I have met and talked to a lot of ball players. It doesn't however make it better to not use it to bulk up, but look at why runners use it and marathoners. Imagine trying to run 26.2 miles and having it feel like 5 miles. Imagine the extra step when you are trying to steal a base? Imagine a few more mph on an outfield throw to get runners out? Or maybe even the extra step to run out a long fly ball. Those are the people MOST don't know about. When a player takes it to bulk, they have one thing on their mind: home runs. So my point is they are both cheaters and punks.
