retirement rule for sports

The NBA has recently instituted an age requirment for players. The NFL has a rule that says you must be 3 years removed from high school to be drafted. Why don't pro sports, especially MLB baseball, also institute a you-can't-come-back-after-two-retirements rule?

This is because of Roger Clemens. And others like Michael Jordan whose post-retirement playing years turn out to be disaster. Clemens signed a $28,000,022 contract to play for the awful Yankees this year, for one year. Besides the fact that he thinks it is cute to add the "$22" to his 28 million dollar contract because that's his number, and he doesn't really have to travel or be with the team this year, he just has to pitch on his days to pitch, nor will he be pitching for the next three weeks while he gets back into shape -- I'm not going to whine and complain that his salary is a ridiculous amount of money for one year. He'd be quite unintelligent to decline that offer. I think his bosses are the ones who fell off the turnip truck, but maybe they figure they can sell at least $28,000,023 worth of merchandise more because Roger is with them now. I highly doubt it.

I get sick of seeing excellent players come back after their fifth or sixth retirement, play for teams of low integrity, and perform poorly on the field just to be overpaid. Their teams suffer and their fans suffer. So I suggest that they get one freebie. Maybe they were wrong to retire once, okay, let em' go back. Once. After one retirement, that's it. Finito. Siyanara. Adios mi amigo.
