A sad day for baseball

.

Here's the story.

Really bad way to end your career and because of that I hope I'm really wrong.

But what was he thinking?

Sounds like he was doing what he always does before a game, as baseball players we are creatures of habit.

Sure hope he recovers well as he has been a classy fixture in this game for quite while.

I'm more philosophical about it. He was near the end of his career. He was doing what he wanted to do, the same as he has been doing for 18 years. No one wants to see him hurt, but all careers end eventually.

He was a blast to watch and a class act.

No way Moe ends his career this way and will come back in 2013. He still has the arm and is still a great athlete. He's probably still the best athlete on the Yankees which is why his part of his routine is shagging flyballs in the OF. He may be their best outfielder who likely now will ever get the chance to play out there before he retires. There was talk he might get a shot to play CF before he retires. However, with this injury, I don't see that happening now. And when Moe does hang it up, David Robertson will be the next Yankee great closer. Robertson has the makeup, has pitched in all the Yankees big spots including playoffs and World Series and studied from the best reliever in the game. Only that Robertson's job as closer will be delayed a little longer.
