1927 American League Retirements

1927 N.L. Retirements

	Find out which players made their Major League debut in the American League during the 1927 season as this group of players bid farewell to their field's of dreams. Hank Aaron ended his Major League career on October 3, 1976, with a sharp single during the sixth inning off Dave Roberts of the Detroit Tigers. On September 28, 1960, broadcaster Curt Gowdy uttered, "It's got a chance. It's got a chance. And it's gone!" Those words were used to describe the final at-bat of slugger Ted Williams.
