RETIREMENTS FOLLOWING SEASON 37

CHICAGO HIT HARDEST BY RETIREMENTS; CUT PILE LEGEND SAYS "ADIOS"

The Chicago Gale had better make its move this season toward a championship, because after this campaign, starting superstar guards Didger A'doo and Ching-Chong Chung will be hanging up the sneakers.
A'doo is already one of the two best guards in Chicago history (along with Hall of Famer Doc Watson) and has made the Gale relevant again. Chung, who has played superbly for five different teams, is already a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest (if not the greatest) all-time point getters in league history.
Besides these two, three other starters were among the retirees, but none were so celebrated in song and longevity than center Pug Mahone, who came into the league in Season 9 and has hung on for 29 seasons, a vast majority in the cut pile, before finally hanging it up. In human years, this wiry index card would 50 years old, still toiling in the minors, hoping for another shot at the big time.
Not to be.
