You know the most notable thing about the TBS studio show for the MLB Playoffs?  It's not the return of Harold Reynolds, the seemless transition from NBA to MLB for Ernie Johnson or even the dreamy eyes of Cal Ripken.  It's the fact that Dennis Eckersley still looks exactly the same as he did 18 years ago. 

Here is a pic of Eck when he was the star closer for the Oakland A's in the late 80's.

Now here's a pic of him from this week.

Granted he looks terrified in the more recent picture for some reason, but admit it, if the guy walked into the TBS studio with an A's outfit on, you'd have to at least consider for a second that maybe you were accidentally sent back to 1988. 

Who knew that a mullet and mustache could reverse the aging process?
