Tominator Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 His battle with cancer was in 1994, I believe this is what muggs was refering to: "On July 03, 1995, in a game at Baltimores Camden Yards stadium, Kruk singled and took himself out of the game. He left the ballpark never to play again." Wasn't aware of that, but I'm betting I know where John was coming from. I'm betting returning to baseball was part of the fight with cancer. It was about beating the beast, not seeing what he could do in baseball. Splitting hairs, but him walking out on baseball wasn't quitting IMO.

JJL Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 John Kruk lost a testicle to Cancer. I'll never forget his retirement speech, it ended with; " I guess it's official now, I'm taking my ball and going home." Classic Kruk!
