I love making up interesting reasons for players to retire. Loss of interest or disillusionment. An off-season injury. Desire to go out on top and not have a decline.

Maddux retiring with 299 wins? I'd probably say he did it on purpose because he preferred the uneven look of 299 to boring old 300. Who knows?
