It takes a lot to play professional baseball. Just the grind alone in the lower minors is enough to end a lot of careers on its own. Add in the fact that you’re battling for one of 25 spots on just 30 teams around the entire country and it’s enough to make most players ultimately give up on their passion. But, not Sean Kazmar. Sean played in just 19 games for the San Diego Padres back in 2008 and didn’t touch the majors again up until 2021 where he had just two at bats, for a grand total of 48 plate appearances across a professional career that lasted 17 years.
After a sensational 17 year career, Sean Kazmar has officially retired.
