In announcing his retirement on Instagram earlier this week, Howie Kendrick, who played for four big league teams over his 15 seasons in the majors, took a moment to thank all of his teammates in Anaheim, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.
“To my teammates throughout the years,” Kendrick wrote, “... thank you for the times and hardships we’ve shared. I’ve learned from you and hopefully taught some of you the bits and pieces I got from the guys before me.”
Count Nationals’ outfielder Andrew Stevenson among those players who feels Kendrick helped him over the time the two of them spent together in the nation’s capital.
