Pudge retires

[guitarmy21b]

Thought this deserved it's own thread. He was the first baseball player I idolized as a kid and still my favorite baseball player ever. Would have loved to see him join the 3,000 club and retire as a Ranger, but oh well. Best catcher of all time IMO.

14x All star
13x Gold Glove winner
7x silver slugger
1999 AL MVP

Career numbers .296, 311HR, 1,332RBI, 2,844H, .798OPS

would have loved for the Rangers to have dropped Torrealba and added Pudge for his last season
