End of Moose Calls in The Bronx

Mike Mussina has officially retired. He told the associated press today that he is retiring from baseball. Turns out, this is what he was planning to do all along. He informed the media that before the season he knew it would be his last. But boy did he have a good season. Mussina racked up his first ever 20-win season of his career, notching his 20th win on the final day of the 2008 season, and in the final game of his great career. A career that might have a place in cooperstown someday. That is an argument that will go on for a while: is Mussina and his 270-career wins worthy of the plaque that all players desire? That is a question that the baseball writers will answer in 5 years. But for now, my hat is off to you Mike. You had a hell of good career.
