Good Answer

Coming in at #4 on the Sports Illustrated list of 5 hardest-working athletes of all time, 49-year-old julio Franco of the Atlanta Braves tells the secret of his success:

4. Julio Franco: So maybe he can't get around on the fastball like he used to, but the man the Braves called up last week is 49 YEARS OLD. He's built like a Greek statue, and he can still take a ball to right field better than any of the Braves first basemen (other than Mark Teixiera.) I also like him because after Andy Van Slyke insinuated that Franco must be on steroids, Franco responded, "Tell him the steroid I'm on is Jesus of Nazareth."
