It’s been nearly two seasons since he played, but New Westminster’s Justin Morneau made it official on Wednesday, when he retired from Major League Baseball.
The one-time American League MVP – in 2006 – was scheduled to announce his retirement in Minneapolis, the site where many of his baseball highlights were played out. It’s also expected that the Twins will add Morneau to their staff.
His career saw him slug 247 home runs and 1,603 hits over 14 seasons.
