Playing any position beside pitcher over the age of 45 is extremely rare in the major leagues. In fact, when Omar Vizquel made Toronto's roster to start the 2012 season and then turned 45 in April, he became just the fourth non-pitcher at least at that age to appear in the majors in the last 70 years. Any guesses on the other three? They were Pete Rose (45 in 1986), Carlton Fisk (45 in 1993) and Julio Franco, who was an ageless 49 when he suited up for Atlanta in 2007.
In Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League, it's not unusual for an athlete to play for several different teams over the course of his career. But the most teams ever? In the NBA, four players share the record with 12 teams -- Chucky Brown, Jim Jackson, Tony Massenberg and Joe Smith. The NHL record is also 12, held by Mike Sillinger. And it has been 12 in the majors as well -- until 2012, when pitcher Octavio Dotel set a new record of 13 teams by making Detroit's roster.
When Bubba Watson won the 2012 Masters, it marked the second straight year that a player who's never won a major donned the green jacket. First-timer Charl Schwartzel won it in 2011. Besides those two, 15 other golfers in history won the Masters but never captured another tournament crown. Time will tell if that holds true for Schwartzel and Watson. But here's an odd stat -- five of those 15 one-and-done players captured the Masters crown over just a seven-year period: Gary Brewer (1967), Bob Goalby (1968), George Archer (1969), Charles Coody (1971) and Tommy Aaron (1973).
