Matt Stairs retires


"My thought process with pinch-hitting is if I get a hit, it's a bonus because nobody expects you to do anything."

All I really wish he hit just 1 homer for the Nats and that he was picked up by one more team. So close to breaking those records. Now I have to check Octavio Dotel and Bruce Chen.

For what it is worth, the reports have him "leaning" towards retirement. I initially held off due to the "leaning" comment but I see other news outlets have interpreted this more definitively and reported it as a "retirement" so I went with it so not to get left behind.

Maybe he "leans" back into the laegue. Of course if he does, he should only sign with a team he has not yet played with before so to add to the numbers of teams he has played for. No retread teams!
