Julio Franco retirement gets personal

[Booger Man]

Thanks to Julio for all the fun and good play he brought.Never will forget that funky grip on the bat,and how he hit that way I don't know.

Some of the posts' here are obviously not from sports fans, but from people who actually dont have a life, so they read about real sports fans and comment. From a real sports fan: Julio was really great and us "sports fans" will miss seeing him in baseball and we enjoyed his longevity.

Thanks for the memories,Julio.I couldnt believe he was still playing last year!I was a fan of his for many years,and I think that being able to stay in the bigs at the age of 48 is a tremendous feat no matter how you slice!How he spends his money isnt anyone business but his own!I say,good luck in the future and put him in the HOF!!!!
