Mike Lieberthal took his final bow, retiring from Marjor League Baseball Sunday after signing a one-day contract for $4 to end his career with the Philadelphia Phillies, where he played 13 seasons. I grew up watching some rough patches with the Phils, and Lieberthal caught through some difficult seasons in the Vet and beyond.I was also interested to read that the last player who retired in this fashion from the Phillies was Center Fielder Doug Glanville. My family and I watched Glanville play single-A ball in the Cubs farm system one summer in upstate NY, then when he came over to the Phillies it was a pleasure to watch him hold down the fort in Center Field.
Just a little Phillies fan moment here on Math Day!
More details on Lieberthal's final day in the bigs.

Yes! I love the reference to Doug Glanville -I remember him being a class act even back in his young single-A days!
