Six-time All-Star Zacarias retires!
Rumored to have suffered an undisclosed injury recently, 38-year old catcher Rey Zacarias today announced his official retirement from the game. Rumor has it that the very popular Zacarias, considered a leader in the WPK and one of the smarter players in the game, might be looking at getting into politics. Should that not pan out for him it is almost certain that he could have a future in management in the WPK.
Zacarias, who played for two teams in his WPK career, having started with the Philadelphia Mud Hens for his first four seasons, then signing as a free agent with the Washington Night Train for three seasons, only to return to his original team, again via free agency, for the final season of his career. He was a 6-time All-Star, 3-time Silver Slugger, and proud owner of one World Championship ring as a member of the 1971 Washington Night Train.
Although he finishes with numbers well shy of Hall of Fame status, Zacarias leaves baseball as a well-respected, some would even say revered, player. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't wish the best for him in his future endeavors.
