You Know Your Career Is Over...

when you ask to be released by an independent league team to "reassess your future".

And now that John Rocker has asked for and received his release from the Long Island Ducks, maybe his future will involve a frying machine, a paper hat, and frozen fish filets.

Or maybe it will involve selling shares of Enron on eBay.

Or maybe he can carry Hank Aaron's jock...oh never mind, he can't.

I know, he can become a missionary in Africa with Mike Tyson (a match made in hell)! Or join the search for the Holy Grail...wait, how can he search for the Holy Grail when he can't find the strike zone. Bad call.
