1947 American League Retirements

1947 N.L. Retirements

	Find out which players made their Major League debut in the American League during the 1947 season as this group of players bid farewell to their field's of dreams. Stan Musial ended his Major League career on September 29, 1963. His final hit was a single during the sixth inning off Jim Maloney which drove in his last RBI (which was Curt Flood). On September 28, 1960, broadcaster Curt Gowdy uttered, "It's got a chance. It's got a chance. And it's gone!" Those words were used to describe the final at-bat of slugger Ted Williams.
