Phillies: Hunter Pence retires from MLB after 14-year career

Former Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Hunter Pence has retired from Major League Baseball.

“Nothing can really prepare you for this part of your career when you have to say: I am retiring from baseball,” Pence said in a social media video post while announcing his decision on Saturday. “[I am] forever thankful and [grateful].”

Pence garnered several accomplishments throughout his 14-year career — most notably, two World Series championships with the San Francisco Giants in 2012 and 2014.
