Like, I literally had one player in one of my games where I kept him around as a backup DH for like 2 years because he refused to retire, but wasn't good enough. I think one year he literally got 5 AB the whole season, but I had to keep him around because I couldn't part with him and see him retire with another team.


I mainly play historical and before this year I’d usually set it up with real retirement years but no missed seasons, and the number of players who randomly played a minor league game a decade after their careers properly ended is way too damn high. This time I turned off real retirement years, partly for that reason, and partly because it breaks my heart whenever Addie Joss “retires” in his prime.
