Happy Monday, everyone. We have officially reached the off-season, but there was plenty of news over the weekend:
Battle said his health was not a factor in his decision.
"My health is good, or as good as a 75-year old man's can be," he said. "My cancer is in full remission. But at my age, I just didn't want to come into work every day anymore. I love what I do and wouldn't take anything for the experience of having done it. But I'm getting to the point where I want to do some of the the other things I love to do, too.
