Do players even retire from torn mcl's? acl's, yeah. But you can heal a mcl in 6 weeks without surgery. I've seen Show players retire from head fractures & that;s at least plausible.

This is interesting. I'm curious to see the patterns because I play with injuries off so I've never seen a career ending injury.

I was hoping Miggy would play for longer. He could easily DH until he was 40+

I thought the same thing. I torn my MCL and I was running full speed in 4 1/2 weeks.

I was shocked too but it's kind of random when guys retire. It's like guys who are free agents for 2 years, they often retire.
