Wally Roettger. Comorosky played for the Reds the next two seasons before drawing his release from the big league club at the conclusion of the 1935 season, ending his time in the major leagues. It was back to the minors and playing in cities like Toronto and Wilkes-Barre before retiring at the end of the 1938 season. However, his career wasn't exactly over.
