Jose Cruz Astros Jersey . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era. Carlos Gomez Astros Jersey . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. http://www.baseballastrosproshop.com/carlos-lee-astros-jersey/ . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season.Gary Cahill admits losing John Terry would be a blow as the defenders career at Chelsea seemingly draws to a close. Terry has been at Stamford Bridge for his entire career, winning four league titles and a Champions League, and revealed in January that his contract would not be renewed at the club.He has since expressed his desire to stay at Chelsea, but with new manager Antonio Conte not arriving until after Euro 2016, his future still remains uncertain. Gary Cahill was appearing at an SSE Next Generation event at Surrey Sports Park His team-mate Cahill doubts anyone will achieve what Terry has during his 18-year spell at the club, and insists replacing him would be difficult.Cahill exclusively told Sky Sports: It is [difficult to imagine the dressing room without him]. I suppose there was always going to be a time when that happened, but for me it was always going to be a blow.No player is going to play on forever, and there comes a time where you have to move on, or retire, or move clubs, or whatever it is going to be.But to replace someone like him is going to be difficult, not only as a player but as a character too, in the dressing room. But like I said, there is a time where that happens, and that is natural. You see that with the likes of Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, these players are very hard to replace. Terrys time at Chelsea looks to be coming to an end To achieve what he has achieved at this football club, and to achieve what he has achieved in his career, is phenomenal.Will anyone achieve what he has achieved as a captain at Chelsea Football Club? Probably not. Its something remarkable. Of course in all the fans eyes he will be thought of for many years and obviously never be forgotten.Terry is suspended for the visit of champions Leicester on the final day of the season, meaning he may have already played his final minutes for the club.But Cahill insists there will still be celebrations for the 35-year-old, adding: I am sure there will be celebrations in that respect from the players, fans, management staff. Chelsea fans display a banner in support of Terry during their 1-1 draw at Liverpool For mee hes been one of the best centre-backs the Premier League has seen. Jason Castro Astros Jersey. He has consistently performed season after season, which is difficult at a club like Chelsea, to fight off that competition year after year. Of course hes hugely popular.Chelsea were crowned Premier League champions under Jose Mourinho this time last year, but currently sit mid-table after a poor campaign which saw the Portuguese manager sacked in December.Cahill insists he does not want to experience this feeling of underachievement again, and hopes it is a learning curve towards future success at Stamford Bridge.Its been disappointing, its been one not to remember. Not too many positives this year, which is quite obvious. We are used to challenging and used to winning trophies. Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink thinks Terry is fit enough to continue playing at the highest level There have been times when we look like were going to do something, and then slip back down. We know more than anyone its all about consistency, and consistency individually.For us thats not been the case this season. Were looking to try and finish positively, its difficult when youre not playing for anything, but were always playing for pride and you have a professional responsibility.We definitely dont want this feeling next year, so if weve learned anything its that.[Sunday] is not going to be a celebration day for us. Its like a time where we are handing the trophy over.Gary Cahill was appearing at an SSE Next Generation event at Surrey Sports Park.
