"The routine of showing up to the yard every day and working to improve each time out has been a driving force for me...I am now ready to return my focus and energy to being a husband, father, family man, and active member of my community. I'm retiring from baseball, but I hope to give back more than I received. Thank you to all of you for the love and support you have given me. Y'all know who you are."
