I know the guy's not dead and he's made $29.5M in a ten-year career as a relief pitcher - really not too damn shabby - but this news is really sad. I had no idea he was 35; I thought he was like 31 at the MOST. If he needs surgery, that really might be it for him. It's just scary that such an awesome career can come to an end so quickly.
(Thank you, God, for Mariano Rivera.)
