And he rehashed it from the great Ty Cobb - Georgia Peach and baseball legend.This is a rehashed joke from the great Sir Donald Bradman.
"An apocryphal story goes that a journalist asked Sir Donald Bradman, at a time when the Australian batsmen were giving the hapless England bowlers a particularly torrid time, how he thought he would have fared against that crop of bowlers? After some thought, Bradman opined that he would average around 60. Stunned, the incredulous journalist continued, but Sir Donald, you averaged 99 in your career, why only 60 against this lot? Well, responded the great man with a cheeky grin, I am in my 80s you know!"

Where Ty heard it first, christ knows.
