Everybody has a bad outing now and then, but Aaron Laffey took things to a new level last night. In his second stint with the New York Mets, he gave up 14 runs while playing for the Las Vegas 51’s.
How did he react? He quit. Just hours after the game, the 33 year old Laffey retired from the sport.
It had been a frustrating season for Laffey, who was trying to make it back to the big league club. In his first start of the season, on May 25th, Laffey gave up seven runs over five innings.
