    Twilight of the Gods When Great Careers Go Bad

    Wednesday, August 29, 2007, 11:32 PM [General]

    Where do elephants go to die? Somewhere there's a pile of tusks higher than Mount Kilimanjaro. But what about great athletes we all remember the glory years, Unitas with the Colts, Montana with the Niners, Carlton with the Phillies, or Jordan with the Bulls. Where do great careers go to die? Like victims of childhood abuse we repress the memories of our heroes in the wrong uniform, reject the notion they hung on too long, or didn't know when to hang them up. Like a horror movie where a hand bursts out of the ground and grabs the surviving Barbie's ankle, right when you thought it was over, we bring you;

    Twilight of the Gods!!!

    Michael Jordan Washington Wizards
    Babe Ruth Boston Braves
    Wayne Gretzky New York Rangers
    Willie Mays New York Mets
    Wilt Chamberlain ABA San Diego Conquistadors
    Hank Aaron Milwaukee Brewers
    Ty Cobb Philadelphia Athletics
    Gordie Howe Hartford Whalers
    Joe Montana Kansas City Chiefs
    Steve Carlton Minnesota Twins
    Jerry Rice Denver Broncos
    Johnny Unitas San Diego Chargers
    Oscar Robertson Milwaukee Bucks
    Pete Rose Montreal Expos
    Richie Ashburn New York Mets
    Satchel Paige Kansas City Athletics
    Deion Sanders Baltimore Ravens
    Bobby Hull Hartford Whalers
    Rogers Hornsby St. Louis Browns


    This list is by no means comprehensive, I'm sure there are some glaring omissions, some are occurring on a team near you right now. I encourage you to fill in the blanks as only true sports fans can, while we journey down a trash strewn path called "Twilight of the Gods..."
