oldest catching team ever

Paul LoDuca and Ramon Castro are both on the DL, eligible to play again within a day of each other next week. Lo Duca has been playing this weekend in Brooklyn for the Cyclones in rehab starts, but with both regular starters on the DL, the New Orleans Zephyrs' catching team has taken over on the big club.

The LoDuca-Castro team behind the plate wasn't particularly young to begin with-- Paul is 35, Ramon 31. Still, they look like babies next to their replacements. Sandy Alomar, Jr. is 41, and Mike DiFelice is 36, and both are playing like the talents they are behind the plate. with backup like this, one doesn't miss the regulars quite so badly...
