John Patterson retires
Well, we never actually saw him in Arlington. But the slight possibility of him joining the Rangers was fun while it lasted.

Bummer for that dude
I wonder how his health benefits will play out in the future with that bum arm from baseball.

He made over $8 million...
…in his baseball career…
I suspect that health insurance going forward isn’t that big of an issue.

He's got a family to feed.

I always cringe a little
When a skilled athlete has to hang it up and retire. But kudos for recognizing “that’s it” and moving on to what’s next. Better than struggling against odds so long you never see the finish line.

That is a very interesting point that gave me pause...
I miss 1989. I miss 1996. Please make me miss another season in 2008.
