Marichal Retires From Baseball After Failed Dodgers Return
Juan Marichal, famed right-hander with a 243-142 record and 2.87 ERA, quits baseball at age 36 after two Dodgers starts and back problems. Manager Walt Alston praises his effort as Marichal cites inability to pitch effectively and weather affecting performance. Dodgers had signed him after his time with the Red Sox last season and Giants earlier in his career. Meanwhile the Dodgers Cubs rematch draws attention as a main show amid league watchful eye.
