PrintJoe McEwing has apparently retired.
It's a sad day for our game. The heralded 'Joe McEwing Era' of baseball has apparently come to a silent but deadly end. There's little doubt in my mind that this would be headling sports shows around the nation. However, Randy Moss (allegedly) and Pacman Jones can't stop punching women, Colts fans can't stop booing 14 year-old girls, Philip Rivers can't stop being a douchebag and Roger Clemens can't stop not getting any respect and being pissed about it.
I shed a tear, although I can't even really remember anything specific He did for the team when He was here. In fact, the only thing I can think of is Bob Davis saying "hey, there's Joe McEwing... at first...," as though the Notorious B.O.B. couldn't even think of anything of note McEwing has ever done.
Who do you think will be the next Royal-of-Great-Significance to retire?

Our HOF
Our pitchers will go first
Of course, long after Michael Moustakas is retired and enshrined in the Hall of Fame, there will still be one former Royal from this era actively seeking work. Somewhere, it will be Lima time.
bako, elarton, lima
