Hall of Famer Needs to Retire

Tom Glavine is a great pitcher, a sure fire hall of famer, but his career might be over. His career boomed with the Braves many years ago with other big names like Greg Maddux and John Smoltz. After being away from his beloved team for years, he has come back to finish his career where he belongs. I, being a braves fan, was happy to see him back. I know he's old but he has a great command and I knew he could contribute as the 5th starter. But, his shouler just won't let him play. His rotator cuff on his left arm, his throwing arm, has been inflamed as of late. He is getting fet up with rehabbing after he had shoulder and elbow surgery. He says he'll give it a couple more weeks but that's it. If he's not ready to take the mound by early May, he may never take the mound again. He would rather retire then, "have to start all over again." I don't disagree with him on this fact, he's had a wonderful career and there's no reason for him to continue to struggle with his health in order to pitch a couple more games. Even though I wanted, and Braves fans around the country wanted, to see Glavine pitch for the Braves one last season, I'm not going to be upset that he would retire. He has left his mark with the organization, and with the MLB as a whole, and he will hold his place in the Baseball Hall of Fame forever.
