Torii Hunter retiring

[MrMet]

Twins outfielder Torii Hunter has decided to retire, he tells LaVelle E. Neal III of the Star-Tribune. The 40-year-old played in parts of 19 years with three organizations.
“I’m sad because it’s all I’ve known for half of my life,” Hunter said.“This great game of baseball has done so much for me. I have learned a lot of lessons. … I still love the game, but time has taken a toll on me mentally and physically.”

This is troubling for me personally as the number of players that are older than me is quickly declining hah. One day very soon I'll be older than every pro player and I'll have to give up my dreams of making it into the bigs

He was a Royal Killer his whole career. Class act. But glad he's not in MIN or some other AL club wreaking havoc in Kansas City...

I was a fan. As LM said, kinda sad all these guys in the 80s-mid 90s beginnings are leaving.

Seriously , seems like a good amount of multi generation families making it these days.

Good for them, quite a feat.
