Warhawks Announce Tillman Will Retire Wednesday, June 4th , 2070 Illinois first baseman Chris Tillman won't be back next year. The 37-year-old announced plans today to retire at the end of the 2070 campaign, saying that it was time to call it a career. "I could probably play another year," Tillman said, "but I don't have that fire you need to play well. And I'm not going out there on those terms. It's a disservice to the Warhawks and baseball in general. There are just too many aches and pains in this old body for me to continue playing." Tillman has a career .238 average with 991 hits, including 217 doubles, 13 triples and 147 homers, collected 475 RBIs, scored 415 runs and compiled a .307 OBP. |
