UPDATE (12:50 p.m.) Milwaukee Brewer Ryan Braun announced his retirement on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. Braun retires after 14 seasons and an NL MVP

Today, more than 14 years after I first took the field as a Milwaukee Brewer, I’ve decided to retire. While it’s impossible to summarize my emotions, what I feel most is one, simple thing – gratitude.

I just wanted to take a moment to say ‘thank you’.
