One of this country's most famous female athletes is retiring. Soccer player Mia Hamm will hang up her spikes after tonight's game between the U.S. and Mexico in Carson, California. Hamm rose to fame during the 1999 World Cup, and as Marketplace's Matthew Algeo reports, she became a marketing icon. (Photo: Getty Images)
