It's just a matter of time. They will get the goods on Braun and #13 because they are guilty. IF I were #13, I would pull a Manny and retire. He has nothing left in the tank anyway.

Not sure how much jack Manny walked away from...obviously #13 has a LOT more at stake and I wonder if he would do that.
What we can be sure of is that a LOT of Yankee fans and the team itself would be ecstatic if he did!!!!!!!!!

#13 would leave alot on the table were he to retire, but it's not like he, his kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, or great-great-grandkids are going to be struggling to make ends meet - he's been paid $325+M to date, and that's just baseball salary.

He should retire, but he won't. I mean it's certainly not like #13 to do the honorable thing.

Heck with honor, just save himself the embarrassment.
But you're probably right, the lure of another $114M can overcome alot of embarrassment.

It would for most people. Along way from Joe Dimaggio retiring because he didn't feel like he could play up to his own standards anymore isn't it?

The next time #13 puts honor before ego and greed will be the first time.

Malta is a nice place. Afghanistan is a more appropriate choice.
