quadragenarian

The Yankees’ scheduled starter, Andy Pettitte, turned 40 on Friday, so he will be making his first start as a quadragenarian.

In his comeback, the hefty quadragenarian has stunned people with his power and immobility (he stands in the middle of the ring and goes POW!)

I have often thought of Broun's words in the three years since Rocky Marciano, the reigning heavyweight champion, scaled the fistic summits, as they say in Journal-Americanese, by beating a sly, powerful quadragenarian colored man named Jersey Joe Walcott.

MINNEAPOLIS — After witnessing another impressive performance by a former teammate and a fellow quadragenarian, Joe Girardi reached out from the dugout steps and shook Andy Pettitte’s right hand, congratulating him for the superb work Pettitte had done with his left.
