Pirates legend Chisenhall retires

On the heels of a groundbreaking 2019 campaign, Lonnie Chisenhall is retiring from baseball.

With the Pirates last year, Chisenhall, 31, slashed .000/.000/.000 with zero home runs, zero RBIs, zero runs, zero hits, zero stolen bases, zero doubles and zero triples in zero at-bats.

Following that season, in which he earned $2.75 million to work through the world's worst calf injury from his North Carolina home, Chisenhall's hanging up the cleats for good.

“I’ve only played 29 games in the past two years,” Chisenhall recently said during a Q&A at his former middle school, Newport Middle School, in Newport, N.
