ARLINGTON, Texas -- Elvis Andrus, who made his big league debut as a 20-year-old shortstop for the Texas Rangers on opening day in 2009, is set to retire with his original club.
The 36-year-old Andrus will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Rangers' home game Friday night against the Los Angeles Angels and manager Ron Washington, who was Andrus' skipper for his first five-plus seasons.
Andrus will be joined on the mound by Michael Young, who moved from shortstop to third base to make room for Andrus and is now a special assistant to Rangers general manager Chris Young.
