Real Madrid secured the Supercopa de Espana for a 13th time thanks to a famous 4-1 win over Barcelona in Saudi Arabia.

Snell is 31 years old, which is four years younger than fellow left-hander Randy Johnson was before he signed with the D-backs and proceeded to do the best pitching of his career. He is about the same age that Max Scherzer was when he signed with the Nationals, and you know what he did for them, including help pitch them to their first World Series in 2019.
