POSTED: 6:45 am EST February 11, 2005

Yet another performer that should take a hint from Johnny Carson when it comes to announcing your retirement. Next thang ya know he'll be taking up softball or something.

I've always enjoyed Garth Brooks. I doubt he'll be coming out of retirement anytime soon. I don't know if there was anything left for Garth to do in country music. And I would hardly chastise anyone for coming out of retirement to help a charity(whether you like them or not).

GB's first MLB spring training was with the Padres in '98 or '99 to raise awareness and money for the Touch 'Em All Foundation.
