Here Are the Seven Youngest Kellogg's "Retirees"

Five of these players played until age 26.

Bill Parsons - he played in only four MLB seasons.  He is listed as having attended four different colleges.  How could that be?

Mark Fidrych - everyone knows his injury story and his quick rise to fame.

Britt Burns - even in Chicago I didn't realize how young he was when his career ended.  A chronic hip condition ended his playing career but five years after his last MLB game he pitched in the minors attempting a comeback.

Wally Bunker - arms troubles ended his career early.


Joe Charboneau - another guy with a great rise to fame and quick fall.

One player played until age 25.


Tony Horton - stress caused him to retire.  There are lots of stories to read online about his career.


One player played only until age 24.


Les Cain - another arm injury.  They didn't do Tommy John surgery yet.
