B. Boone Retires

After a 14-year MLB career, three-time All-Star Bret Boone announced today that he would retire from baseball. Boone, 37, had signed a minor-league contract with the New York Mets for the 2006 season. Boone had spent 13 and a half years of his career with the Seattle Mariners, but finished last season with the Minnesota Twins. Last year he batted .221 in 88 games. Mets GM Omar Minaya said he supported the decision, and wasn't disappointed.
