Dodgers fans of a certain generation felt awfully old on Saturday. After two years out of professional baseball, former All-Star catcher Russell Martin officially announced his retirement. The Canadian catcher has been out of baseball since 2019, but is hanging it up for good.
Martin announced the news with a jersey swap video chronicling his 14-year big league journey that is sure to Dodgers and golf fans alike smile.
Martin first came up with the Dodgers in the 2006 season. He, along with Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, James Loney, Jonathan Broxton, and Clayton Kershaw, helped usher in a new era of Dodgers baseball.
