2559191, Nah, he's not retiring. He won't ever play again because drs won't

clear him, but he's not gonna retire so he can keep getting paid his contract.
Similar to a rod becoming a consultant and not officially retiring.
Smart move by fielder, but yeah he's done. Finished with the exact same number of career hrs as Cecil.

2559254, That equal number has got to burn him up lol

2559284, i wasn't trying to be all *ACTUALLY* either.
Posted by KiloMcG, Wed Aug-10-16 03:20 PM
i had heard that story on Jay Mohr and thought it was an interesting and smart way to proceed.
so my bad if it came across all smarty-pants, that wasn't my intention Haha.

2559286, nah, I know that aint your steez...
Posted by Dstl1, Wed Aug-10-16 03:28 PM
it didn't even hit me til later that he had a whole bunch of cheese on the line, so retiring wouldn't be the move...but if doctors won't let you play...then, you tried.

2559287, cool

Prince was the unquestioned leader of the 2 best Brewer teams I've ever seen. When he was coming up through the minors, we all knew that it was gonna turn around. Shit,the guy is my age.
I used to take care of his family at Miller Park when I worked the Friday's Front Row there. I literally had to be told who he was cause he was such a quiet,nice guy that doesn't look all that different from a regular big ass dude.
God speed Prince
