Yankees first baseman Jay Bruce announced he will retire after Sunday's game against the Rays.
The three-time All-Star has a .244 average with 319 homers and 951 RBIs in a career that has spanned 14 seasons, starting with the Reds in 2008.
"After 14 incredible seasons, I’ve decided to make the very difficult decision to retire from baseball," Bruce wrote in a statement released by MLB reporter Ken Rosenthal. "All I ever wanted to be ’when I grew up’ was a baseball player, and to say that I got to live out my dream would be the understatement of a lifetime.
