Former Baltimore Orioles Steve Pearce announced his retirement on April 13. In his journey around the AL East, Pearce spent some of 2012 and 2016 as well as all of 2013, ’14, and ’15 in Birdland.
Unusual MVP
Pearce is best known for his time with the Boston Red Sox in 2018 when he was named the World Series MVP for his three timely home runs. He hit a remarkable .333/.500/1.167 in the five-game series against the Dodgers. For his prowess in the playoffs, the Red Sox resigned him for 2019; he played in 99 games.
