Jeff Kent's playing career is nearing its completion. "I know this," Kent said upon his arrival in the clubhouse, "I won't play beyond 40. That makes next year my last year. As for coming back next year, that will probably come down to how the team finishes this year. "When I left Washington's stadium this year, I asked myself, should I be sad since I might never be back here? I felt the same thing when I left Pittsburgh's stadium. Should I take some dirt, a base, a dirty sock? But you know what, there's just not that attachment for me. I won't be one of those guys who find it hard to leave."
