 In the world of pro sports, hitting 32 years of age constitutes the twilight for the majority of athletes. Most competitors peak in their mid to late twenties, with only a few maintaining a high level of performance into their thirties. However, some athletes defy the calendar and continue to make an impact well into a time in their lives when most people consider them “over the hill.”

So here’s one for the old guys - a look at ten of the greatest athletes to have tapped the fountain of youth, and continually proved skeptics wrong by thriving among athletes young enough to be their offspring.

|  It’s common to hear sports commentators calling it a shame when a brawl breaks out on the court or field during play. But around the water cooler, the guys talk excitedly about the previous night’s melee. We all appreciate sportsmanship and skill, but we crave passion, tension, and rivalry as well. Sometimes that spills over into tragedy, and other times it amounts to little more than overgrown boys blowing off some steam.
Of course, hockey is most famous for its brawls, some of them have reached absolutely epic proportions. But baseball has had its fair share, and even basketball and football are not immune. And how about a brawl in a one-on-one sport? We have one on the Rosebud list.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of sports’ most memorable dust ups. Buckle up. It's a wild ride.
