Be seeing you, Moose

After 18 years in the league, Mike Mussina, who spent the past eight years (after ten with the Orioles) playing in pinstripes, is retiring. He is the first pitcher (out of only five) since Sandy Koufax in 1967 to finish his career with a 20-win season. In an era where players' integrity has been questionable at best, he will surely be remembered as a class act.

We'll miss you Moose. But we'll be seeing you in Cooperstown.

[Side note: Gosh, he's good looking for 40!]
