Edited sentence: The Red Sox sadly made essentially no effort to retain him.The diagnoses successfully put a close to Vaughn's career, a somber way to go for a man who had once garnered so much fear in the batter's box.While he hit well for Anaheim when he played -- he hit 30-plus homers and knocked in over 100 runs in both 1999 and 2000 -- Vaughn was plagued by injuries in 1999 and didn't play a single game in the 2001 season
