Torii Hunter announces retirement.

The outfielder played 19 seasons in the majors, 12 of which were spent with the Twins. Said the 5-time All-Star and 9-time Gold Glove winner: "I still love the game, but time has taken a toll on me mentally and physically."

Great person and player. Enjoy retirement and watching your kids.

Very steady player throughout his career...Average was down this past season....Still helped the team with 22 HR`s and 81 RBI`s.

Career 277 hitter....Not bad.....I can see him being a batting coach for starters.....Then maybe a manager someday.

this guy is made for tv with his personality -- it would be a mistake for him to not take a national tv gig next year or soon after.

I think it all comes down to does he want to work. I believe he has a kid playing college sports and another should be either towards the end of high school or already in college.

He's definitely not inneed of an income
