LOS ANGELES – Jeff Larentowicz lived the ultimate longshot story.
Selected with the 45th pick of the 2005 MLS Supplemental Draft – what amounted to 93rd overall when factoring in the SuperDraft three weeks earlier – there were just three players who went off the board later than Larentowicz, who entered New England Revolution camp as an underdog to stick with the club.
Sixteen years, 437 regular season appearances, and two MLS Cups later, Larentowicz announced his retirement on Monday morning as one of the most decorated players in MLS history.
