Players to Retire

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1524582-players-who-will-retire-after-the-2013-mlb-season/page/6

Spring training has officially started across the country! This season has not yet begun but some key players already know they won't be returning for another round in 2014. These players have been subject to constant speculation on their ability to play at their age. Some of the retiring players are Raul Ibanez, Todd Helton, Jim Thome, and Jason Giambi.

These players have been popular since the beginning of their career and so many fans will miss them when they retire.  It seems like once a player hits the age of 35 the speculation begins.

I personally don't think it matter show old a player is. They shouldn't be pressured into retiring, but they also shouldn't play until no one wants them around. Jamie Moyer hung around Philly and we loved him...he gave my dad hope that at 50 he had a chance to play baseball, too.
