Another One of the 25 from 2004 has entered retirement, and it is Orlando Cabrera, who calls it quits at the age of 37.He hit .294 for the Red Sox after he was dealt to the Sox in the Nomar Garciaparra trade on July 31st of that year. He played a solid shortstop, and was a big reason the Sox vaulted into the Wild Card lead that August, and eventually into baseball history.Cabrera left as a free agent after the 2004 championship, and the Red Sox wound up drafting Jacoby Ellsbury and Jed Lowrie as compensation for his exit.All the best in your retirement, OC. We'll always remember your slick glove on that immortal club.

Where Have All the Expos Gone?

Via The Outside Corner  |  January 20, 2012
Another one bites the dust. With Orlando Cabrera announcing his retirement yesterday, we lose one of the last few players that can be largely identified with the now defunct Montreal Expos. It is a club that might soon be extinct, actually. Out of all the remaining "true" Expos, just Vladimir Guerrero and, arguably, Javier Vazquez remain and both of those players are...
