The Retired Athlete 2022

Serena

Federer

Coach K

Coach York

Tom Brady...wait, not yet.

Subban

Chara

Yandle

Pujols (still in-season)

You may not know it, but without Brady, though with him the list is strong, this retirement montage has significance.

You're talking records, titles, wins, sport growth, streaks, out of sport personalities, people of business, grandparents, athletic stalwarts...you name your quality from the list above. I know I may have missed someone from memory. Apologies pro or college coach or athlete. But, yu have six levels of sports (men and women's tennis, college ice hockey, college basketball, pro ice hockey, and baseball) represented.

Wow!

Has anyone observed the 2022 retirement list?

The pro hockey world was rocked when Subban, Chara, and Yandle retired on the same day in pretty much the same part of the day. They left the sport in good hands because other superstars have risen to the occasion of success.

Twenty-two years into the 21st century and the athletic talent level has exploded. Just look at this list of talented athletes even though a few of them began their pro careers prior to 2000.

I will leave you to looking up each athlete in order to discover their impact on their respected sport and the sports world.
