    Doesn't look good for Morneau. Just read this on Twitter:

    "I don't think there will be a career if it's something I'm dealing with. I'm obviously not going to continue to mess around with this if it continues to be a problem. There comes a point where you can torture yourself for so long."

    I haven't done any research but from the top of my head I cannot recall a Baseball player retiring due to a concussion. Any players come to mind for you guys?

    Corey Koskie, Mourneau's former teammate, for one.

    You also have to imagine that there are plenty of guys Way Back When who had this issue, but they just called it the spins or dizzies or shakes instead of concussions. Kind of like the fallacy that people believe pitchers are less healthy now - They aren't, since you can actually repair a torn shoulder, whereas 30+ years ago there were probably more catastrophic arm injuries.
