I have been playing baseball for 30 years and as a professional for 15 years. It hasn't all been smooth sailing, but the fans have always supported me. If there's something I'm most proud of, it's that I was able to make the decision of my own free will to end my career in good health, without ever having to undergo surgery on the body my parents gave me. I think now is the time. baseball has helped me grow in every way. I'm truly grateful to everyone who has supported me and everyone I've met. Thank you."
