Curtis Granderson Retires After 16 Seasons

Curtis Granderson is hanging up his spikes after 16 seasons in the majors.

The veteran outfielder announced his retirement on Twitter on Friday morning.

"As I close out this wonderful chapter in my life and step away from my days on the field, I know that my role in this game is only just getting started," Granderson said. "I look forward to continuing my work helping to diversify the sport, paving the way for young kids to learn and grow."

Granderson played for seven teams during his career after the Tigers drafted him in 2002.
