GGajewski18 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Mike Recchia @Recchia1 · 7m 7 minutes ago I have officially retired from the game of baseball. One last night with my buddies and back to Chicago tomorrow to start the new life... Wow. Thought this deserves its own thread. Good luck in future endeavors Mike.

thxfrthmmrs Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 NSS would certainly be disappointed. Didn't think his injury was career threatening, so this is a shocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Shame. Had nice numbers. Remember reading a piece he wrote for FutureSox detailing his determination to make it to the majors. Must be a really bad injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Señor Ding-Dong Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 What? No! He was my sleeper! I really liked him and his background as a Chicago guy and I always root for the underdog. Surprising and disappointing, but good luck to him in his future endeavors. I thought he was the next Axelrod/Carroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/pro...?P=Mike-Recchia His stat card since Eastern Illinois. When you sign as a free agent, without any signing bonus...it's an incredibly difficult path financially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Whoa. Good luck to the guy. If he approaches life with anywhere near the determination he did baseball, he will be very successful, both as a father, and in a career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It's interesting to see, when some guys retired or get released, you don't really hear much about it. Recchia retires and there was a flood of players and front office people on twitter extolling his virtues. Says a lot about the guy. He was a good friend to our site over the years too. And he wrote this article for us. Best of luck to Mike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
