Edwin Jackson, who holds the MLB record with appearances for 14 different teams across 17 seasons, announced his retirement from baseball Friday night.
Jackson posted a statement on Instagram, saying, "This game has taught me many life lessons and allowed me to evolve into the person I am today!"
"19 years ago today I was blessed with an opportunity to tie up my laces and step on the field to make my debut with Los Angeles Dodgers...today I am happily hanging up my cleats and closing a 22-year baseball career," Jackson wrote.
The 39-year-old right-hander last pitched in the major leagues in 2019 with the Detroit Tigers.
