I believe the last time it was even done in the same year was decades ago. It was definitely the first time on the same day.

I thought steroids were the only reason Barry made it to 40? Can we at least get the story straight?

Correct. They said it on the Scott Van Pelt show today. Pretty remarkable.

Never said a word about Barry making it to whatever age. Check yo facts before you try.

Wednesday was the first day in MLB history that a pair of 40-year-olds (Chipper Jones, Jason Giambi) hit a walk-off home run.
