Outfielder Magglio Ordonez announced his retirement from Major League Baseball on Sunday prior to a ceremony at Detroit's Comerica Park. Ordonez played 15 seasons, eight seasons for the Chicago White Sox and the last seven for the Detroit Tigers. He finished his career with a .309 career batting average, 294 home runs and 1,236 RBIs. The Venezuela native has been bothered by ankle injuries the past two seasons. He was a free agent after last season and did not receive any offers to his liking. He is best remembered in Detroit for his game-winning homer in Game 4 of the 2006 AL Championship Series against Oakland.
