<Tampa Bay Rays:team#27> first baseman <Mark Sweeney layer#13776> will retire at the end of the season, according to reports out of team headquarters. Sweeney, 38, has been considering retirement since last season sources say, though he has declined to speak publicly about retirement.
"Mark still like baseball," one source said, "He wants to play, but he also knows he's getting up in age and the skills are not what he wants them to be. He says it's physically getting harder to go out there every day. That's why he's hanging up his spikes."
Checking out his career figures, <Sweeneylayer#13776> has played in 1121 games with a .260 batting average. Among his 452 hits are 42 home runs. He also has scored 218 runs, stolen 16 bases and driven in 245 runs.
