Chris Jaffe - "It’s that time of the year again. The regular season is winding down, and with it quite a few major league careers will come to an end. Everyone wants to go off with a nice storybook ending where you get the bit hit or throw the perfect strikeout pitch to win the game at the end and then walk off into the sunset with a John Williams score playing in the background. Or something like that. But, of course, that really almost never happens. In fact, a player is far more likely to go out quite differently than that. After all, if you’re still capable of hitting the big blast or making the clutch out, someone will take a chance on you next year. Thus, most guys have a sad final act to their careers. Sad, but true."
