Question: Who is the oldest player to hit a home run in a major league game?
Answer: Julio Franco smashed his way into baseball history as the oldest player to hit a home run. At 47, he cranked a two-run, pinch-hit homer in the eighth, sparking the New York Mets to a 7-2 win over the San Diego Padres. His blast topped the old record set by Athletics pitcher Jack Quinn, who was 46 years and 357 days old when he went deep on June 27, 1930.
