Edgar Renteria has retired

[Cowtipper]

There have been no real articles about his retirement, but it appears that Mr. Renteria is officially done. The Brewers (and other teams) showed interest in him, but they were told by his agent that he "intends to remain retired."

He had a really solid career - 2,327 hits, 140 home runs, 294 stolen bases, 1,200 runs, five All-Stars, three Silver Sluggers, two Gold Gloves, World Series MVP and hero. Interestingly, the Hall of Fame Monitor gives him a score of 109, with the average Hall of Famer having a score of 100.

Did you copy that from somewhere? That last part is brutally wrong. Giants won the World Series 4-1, making it Game 5 in which he hit his HR for a 3-1 victory.

Renteria also made the last out of the '04 WS, hitting a comebacker to Foulke, who made a weird underhanded throw to first.
When I saw the weird throw, I figured it would get by Minty (Mintkiecxiweroioixcviocz) and the usual Bosox hijinks would ensue.
