Pedroia retires

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30816259/boston-red-sox-dustin-pedroia-announces-retirement-mlb?platform=amp
Pedroia, 37, a four-time All-Star who was named American League Rookie of the Year in 2007 and AL MVP in 2008, played his entire 17-season professional career in the Red Sox organization. He won three World Series rings and was a four-time Gold Glove winner.

"Dustin is so much more than his American League Most Valuable Player award, his All-Star game selections, and the Gold Gloves he amassed throughout his impressive 17-year playing career in our organization," Red Sox owner John Henry said in a statement.

"Dustin came to represent the kind of grit, passion and competitive drive that resonates with baseball fans everywhere, and especially with Red Sox fans. He played the game he loves in service to our club, its principles and in pursuit of championships. Most of all, we are forever grateful to him for what he brought to our club and our region as an important role model showing all of us how much one can accomplish with determination and hard work."
