Shawn Green Retires

According to Mark Hale of the New York Post, outfielder Shawn Green has decided to retire.  He had interest from a half-dozen clubs, but apparently nothing close enough to his California home.  Green retires at 35 with about $100MM earned in his career.  That'd be kind of nice, wouldn't it?

Green finishes with a line of .283/.355/.494 and 328 home runs.  He topped 40 HR in three different seasons.

Comments

I'm surprised nobody picked him up. He still handles righties pretty well. (.865 OPS in 2007)

I think I was one of the few Mets fans sad to see him go.

I'm a Jays fan and I'm sad to see him go too. Thanks Shawn for your work in Toronto. Carlos Delgado, Shawn Green, one-two punch.

And now he can take off all days he wants without those pesky critical late-season Dodgers-Giants games getting in the way!

I am sad to see the Yom Kippur Clipper retire...

Congrats on a great career Shawn

Thanks for the memories, Shawn. I still remember my first ballgame at Skydome where you waved at me and my friends. You were my favourite player at the time, and I'll never forget it.

May he enjoy his Golden Years to their full extent.

Another guy who posted a solid career who has decided to hang 'em up...both him and Klesko were good ballplayers...good luck to both of them in whatever comes next...

Now with Shawn gone who inherits "The Hebrew Hammer" moniker?

Another juicer gone...he held on too long just collecting paychecks

I believe the Hebrew Hammer was already anointed on Ryan Braun

Only Braun's dad is Jewish. His mother isn't/wasn't.

I nominate David Newhan or Youk.

You would have to pick Youck.. David Newhan is terrible

I'm sad to see that he hung 'em up, too. If he wanted to keep playing he could've latched on somewhere.

Ryan Braun is the new Hebrew Hammer. He's not even really new he's been a jew for a while.

But yeah lets GO JEWISH ATHLETES. There are like 8 of them so I gotta root for them.

When you have a guy named D'Qwell Jackson and a guy named Shlomo Goldstein, you rarely hear that the latter is a pro athlete and the former is an accountant.
