Players on professional sports teams, including our Chicago Cubs, come and go. Sometimes they leave on good terms, sometimes on bad. Then there are guys who leave a team and just kind of disappear. No formal retirement announcement or try to find their way back to the majors by bouncing around between organizations. Often the question comes up, “Whatever happened to that guy?” in those scenarios.
So many players have played in the majors at some point and it is really hard to keep track of them all. Though it can be surprising when a notable All Star-caliber player just fades away without any trace of what happens to him.
