Talking old age

When teams start putting together their rosters for 2009, the first thing they do is eliminate the players who exceed the Frontier League's age limit. No player in the league can turn 27 years old prior to Jan. 1, 2009 to be eligible next year. That means anyone on a FL roster in 2008 and was born in 1981 (gosh, that was the year I graduated high school. This makes me feel like an old-timer) will be too old to play next season. Here are the players who aged out of the league and their statistics in 2008:
