On the afternoon of Saturday, October 26th the San Jose Earthquakes take on FC Dallas at Buck Shaw Stadium, and Ramiro Corrales bids farewell to the Quakes fans as he becomes the last player that first suited up for MLS in 1996 to retire. "I am one of the originals," Corrales stated almost disbelievingly as he reflected on his time in MLS. "Iâm the only one still playing after 18 seasons, and after so many years, I am proud of that. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I was going to be playing this long."
