Koji Uehara — the man of many high fives — has officially announced his retirement.
Uehara, 44, who recorded the final out of the Boston Red Sox’ 2013 World Series championship, finished his Major League Baseball career with an impressive 2.85 earned run average to go along with 95 saves.
Thank you, @TeamUehara!
