A staple of the Dodgers lineup over the last 12 years said goodbye to fans and teammates Friday. Andre Ethier officially retired from baseball in a ceremony at Dodger Stadium with family and friends at his side.
“It’s flattering, it’s humbling to have all this fuss,” Etheir said. “For a guy who was just another player in a long line of great Dodgers to walk these hallways and put this uniform on, it means a lot.”
Ethier walks away from the game having only ever worn a Dodger uniform at the major league level. The Dodgers traded Milton Bradley and Antonio Perez to the Athletics for the former second-round pick back on December 13, 2005.
