Three other scheduled games were rained out. The game lasted 1 hour, 30 minutes in front of a reported crowd of 14,000 at the Chicago Cricket Club.

J.D. Martinez homered and drove in three runs and the National League's youngest team, the Astros, beat baseball's oldest player, 49-year-old Jamie Moyer, and the Colorado Rockies, 7-3, Saturday night in Houston.

There have been many tremendous accomplishments throughout the history of baseball, but this list is about the incredible few who have defied the age barrier.

Moyer earned a spot in the Rockies' starting rotation and will start the team's second game of the season.

The lefty, entering his 25th season, posted a 2.77 spring earned-run average. He will follow righty Jeremy Guthrie and start the second game of the season, April 7 at Houston.
