The last remaining link to the 2013 National League Pennant champion St. Louis Cardinals is allegedly retiring.

Joe Kelly, the final player in Major League Baseball from the 2013 St. Louis Cardinals, announced his retirement on the Baseball isn't Boring Podcast with Rob Bradford. The 37-year-old Kelly didn't say he's retiring in as many words, but he did say that he's not playing.

“Retiring is like, something that my grandmother did….I’m sorry all you people out there watching this that work a real job. You guys deserve to retire, athletes don’t,” Kelly said.
