Used to watch Meche pitch for the Mariners. Class act all the way.
I've watched him for the past few years here in KC and he's remained a class act. Sorry to see him go but I have nothing but respect for the way he chose to leave.
I believe that Bobby Orr did something similar. He was finally let go from Boston and Chicago decided to give him a chance. But, his injuries prevented him from playing and he gave back the money they had payed him.
