Baseball said goodbye to three of its legends during the 1993 season. Carlton Fisk, 45, set the record for the most games caught at 2,226. He was released by the Chicago White Sox on June 28.
On Sept. 22, Nolan Ryan suffered an elbow injury during the first inning of a game with the Seattle Mariners, ending his long career. Ryan retired with league records for seasons pitched -- 27; strikeouts -- 5,714; no-hitters -- 7; and walks -- 2,795. He had said early in the year that 1993 would be his last season.
Also retiring was Kansas City Royals great George Brett. After 20 seasons in the majors, Brett finished with 3,154 hits, 317 homers, 1,595 runs batted in and an average of .305.
