For the second time Andres Galarraga has retired...this time I'm sure its for good....Galarraga finished with 399 homers, one shy of 400...

I believe Al Kaline also was stuck on 399....


:digit:




The 43-year-old first baseman signed a minor league deal with the Mets in the offseason after making his second successful return from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma last season.

A five-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove in a 19-year career, Galarraga was hitting just .235 in 17 games for the Mets this spring, with three home runs and seven RBIs. The Big Cat probably would have been left off New York's 25-man roster when the team broke camp.

``This is a sad day for me, but I honestly felt it was the right time to step away,'' Galarraga said in a statement. ``I just wasn't playing up to the expectations that I have set for myself throughout my entire career, and I wanted to walk away on my own terms.


``Playing has been a part of my life for so long, but I just felt this was the right time to give a younger guy a chance to play.'' Galarraga made his big league debut with the Montreal Expos in 1985 and has played for St. Louis, Colorado, Texas, Atlanta, San Francisco and the Angels. He finished his career with a .288 batting average, 2,333 hits and 1,425 RBIs in 2,257 games.

Barring injury Griffey Jr would already be at 600! Wow just goes to show you how far he could have a;ready been on that list at #4....He will still probably approach 600

Must of missed that....the 400 # is no big deal but 500 is a different story....I'm surprised he didn't stick it out; being in the 500 club has got to be worth some dollars down the road.
