He ranked in the top three in ERA, wins and strikeouts while starting 30 games. But Prior’s supposed perfect pitching mechanics didn’t protect him from injury as he struggled to stay on the mound thereafter. After winning 18 games in 2003, Prior won 18 games over the remainder of his career and retired in 2013, seven years after his last MLB action. Icky Woods- Ickey Woods became a cult hero in Cincinnati thanks to a rookie year in which he found the end zone 15 times and performed his infamous “Ickey Shuffle” dance. Those 15 touchdowns were the second-most in NFL history for a rookie, and Woods became the focus of the Bengals’ offense ahead of Pro Bowl running back James Brooks. But just two games into his second season, Woods suffered a torn ACL and was never the same. Already a heavy back, he struggled to keep off the weight and did not regained the explosiveness he showed in 1988. He was benched upon his return the following season and played only 19 more NFL games after the injury. Don Maclean- His most notable NBA moments came during his second NBA season, when he nearly tripled his scoring average to 18 points per game. He finally looked like the star he was with the Bruins, but that stardom was short-lived. The following season, the Washington Bullets made numerous roster changes, including trading for Chris Webber and drafting Juwan Howard. The moves knocked MacLean down the forward depth chart, and injuries also reduced his effectiveness. MacLean then became expendable and embarked on a journeyman career that included playing for seven different teams in his final seven NBA seasons. [/QUOTE]
