Of course there are the many that had to quit due to health reasons. Like Joe Mesi, Harold Knight and Lamar Parks. Of course I would understand if you told me the health issues meant they were not exactly in their prime. But I wanted to mention thes guys anyways because they are a worthy discussion for some day in here.
