Earlier this morning, Los Angeles Galaxy and U.S. National Soccer Team great Cobi Jones announced his retirement at the end of this 2007 season. At age 37, Jones is the only player in the MLS's history to play for the same team since it's inception. Cobi has been a local favorite, as well as a hero to many kids wanting to grow up to play soccer professionally. He's been an icon and a pioneer in exposing soccer to a largely clueless American public. He's been an integral component of the Los Angeles Galaxy, and will be greatly missed. Hopefully he'll stick around in a more formal capacity with the team he managed to build here in Los Angeles. Thanks for all the wonderful memories, Cobi. Let's make this last year, one to remember! (How about one more championship before retirement, huh?)Monday, March 19, 2007
Thanks, Cobi!
