Nice write-up about a terrific career. It gets a little eerie when the line between reality and make-believe blurs so severely that you have to stop for a minute or two and sort out the two. When I first stumbled across this "news", I had that brief disorientation that accompanies thoughts like Dang! I missed this! How could Tim die so young?.
On another note, I saw that Remmy Paul had disappeared from the Dodgers' roster and indeed has seemingly retired. This is a head-scratcher for several reasons: he was only 7 wins from 300, was an All-Star in '47 with 19 wins and multiple top-ten placings in important pitching stats, and appeared not to have suffered an injury. I assume this was a game-directed retirement, but it feels too arbitrary to go unchallenged; what are your feelings, Matt? Can-or should-this be undone? Looking at the fading Dodger roster, and noting the lack of help on the farm, this is a brutal setback for the Brooklyn GM.
