How Does He Do It?

Mets first baseman Julio Franco is 47 years old and still going strong. He hopes to play until he's 50. Here's how he does it:

-eats 5 or 6 meals a day, 5,000 calories (on the day the New York Times visited him he ate 20 egg shites, oatmeal and a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
-sometimes he adds peppers or spinach to his egg whites
-likes scooped-out bagels -- cinnamon raisin
-he drinks a shake of beets, cauliflower, celery, broccoli, garlic and an apple
-lifts weights siz days a week
-weekly sessions with chiropractor and massage therapists
-three rules: eat well, work hard, get proper rest

baseball has been berry, berry good to me
