Report: MLB Veteran Officially Announces Retirement At Age 43
The MLB season officially wrapped up on Wednesday with the Texas Rangers clinching their first World Series in history, and a day later, a former Rangers icon has officially announced his retirement from Major League Baseball.
After an incredible 19-year career, power hitting Nelson Cruz has called it quits after an incredible career in which he tallied 2053 hits, 464 home runs and 1325 RBI's, and at 43-years of age and just 49 games with the Padres this year, it was time to end a fantastic run.
Over his career, Cruz wasn't able to win a World Series, but he is a four-time Silver Slugger, a seven-time All-Star and the 2011 ALCS MVP in Texas, so we wish all the best to one of this generations greatest power hitters for life after an incredible career.Nelson Cruz has announced his retirement.
