"Former Mariners left-hander Jamie Moyer had Tommy John surgery in December, but he's not letting a little injury keep him from returning to the mound in 2012.

He also doesn't seem concerned about his age – he will be 49 at the start of next season.

Moyer will continue his recovery at the Philadelphia Phillies' facility in Clearwater, Fla., Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reported. He is not under contract with the team.

He passed some of the season as an analyst on ESPN's "Baseball Tonight."

If Moyer pitches in 2012, he would tie Hoyt Wilhelm in 1972 and Jack Quinn in 1933 as the second-oldest pitchers in a major league game. Moyer would have to pitch another 10 years to set the all-time mark, set by Satchel Paige in 1965."
