After a twelve-year career in the majors, former Boston Red Sox player Mike Napoli, has decided to call it a day.
The 37-year old, who played as a catcher, first baseman and designated hitter over the course of his tenure in the league, spent time at four different franchises. He enjoyed three short stints with the Texas Rangers, and it was in Arlington where he became an All-Star for the only time in 2012. But it was with Boston where he earned the most coveted of accomplishments. Napoli was a key player in the Red Sox’s journey to the 2013 World Series and helped Boston secure their third title in ten years.
