I just felt that after not playing competitively for two years that I could not reach that level of play again. It was strictly time.
The way I look at . . . on the one hand, yeah, I would have loved to been able to play my last game (being aware of it). But on the other side, I'm so fortunate to play as long as I did play. So fortunate to play with the players and the teams that I did play with. And that's what I've got to look at. In the long run, I was very, very lucky.
It' better it happened this way. I'll get a chance to say thanks to the fans of St. Louis later, but as a player you don't want that to be a distraction to your team and your team goals that year. I don't know that I'd want that so I'm not disappointed the way my career ended.
I would love to tell you today that it's not going to be a problem (getting emotional), but it really is. I don't know if there's a greater honor in sports than to have an organization retire your number and to have your family there. That's what it's all about. It's going to be a wonderful day.
