Rehab Fails, Career Over For Mallards MacNamara
This time <Tony MacNamara:player#275> knew it was time to call it a career. "I'd give anything if I could to get back out there and play again," he told BNN. "You don't know how bad I want to say, 'You know what? Maybe I can try it again.' But then reality sets in. And common sense sets in. There ain't no way I can go through that again." Yesterday after meeting with team medical specialists, the 27-year-old <California Mallards:team#5> left fielder decided to retire from baseball because of a fractured ankle. <MacNamara:player#275> tried long and hard to rehabilitate the injury, but the damage was just too severe.

<MacNamara:player#275> has a lifetime .286 batting average and .364 on-base percentage in his 920-game career with 925 hits and 167 home runs.
