Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
CARACAS, Venezuela, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Melvin Mora, who was released by the Arizona Diamondbacks in June, announced in Venezuela his retirement from Major League Baseball.
Mora, who was released from the Diamondbacks after hitting .228 in 127 at-bats and had earlier said he would return to baseball if the right opportunity presented itself, said while visiting his home country Thursday he will not be returning to the sport, The Baltimore Sun reported Friday.
Mora, 39, was traded to the Baltimore Orioles by the New York Mets in July 2000 and spent 1,256 of his 1,556 career games with the team, making two all-star teams and winning a Silver Slugger award and Most Valuable Oriole honors during his tenure with the team. He left the Orioles as a free agent following the 2009 season.
