Julio Franco retired at 49 :( I was hoping that he would make 50 years. I mean, to put into perspective how amazing that is, he never hit the Mendoza Line of .200 (although he came close last year) in any season, and his lifetime average is .298. I hope he makes the hall of fame :)
I would love to see him go, being possibly the longest playing baseball player of all time, but outside of his .298 average, his numbers are not that great. Here's a link to his stats on espn.com. See for yourself.
