Vikings fullback Felton charged with DWI
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Outfielder Pat Burrell, who won World Series with Philadelphia and San Francisco, is retiring after 12 big league seasons, multiple media reports said Monday.
Burrell, 35, is a career .253 hitter with 292 home runs and 976 runs batted in in 1,640 games, though he was just 1-for-27 in two World Series.
The former No. 1 overall draft pick spent most of his career with the Phillies, winning a world championship in 2008. He went on to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2009 but was released in mid-season in 2010 when he struggled at the plate. He signed with San Francisco where he rediscovered his swing and helped the Giants to another World Series that fall.
Last season, his numbers atrophied again. He hit .230 with seven homers and 21 RBI in 92 games.
