Former MLB outfielder announces retirement |
MLB outfielder Cameron Maybin announced his retirement from baseball on Monday night.
“I’ve played this game since I was four years old. Three decades later, my love for baseball is only matched by the love I have for the family that’s supported my every step of the way,” he posted on social media. “I am the man I am today because of this game and the teams that gave a young kid from Asheville, North Carolina a chance to be great: the Tigers, Marlins, Padres, Braves, Angels, Astros, Mariners, Yankees, Cubs, and Mets. To the coaches, agents, mentors and most importantly, the fans, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your support." Maybin spent time in the Cubs organization and most recently played with the Mets. He finished his 15-year career with a .254 average and 187 stolen bases. Best of luck to Maybin on his retirement and he is certainly was one of the good guys in the sport. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. pic.twitter.com/oSSX5WZ83F
