Lance Berkman has decided to retire, he told MLB.com Wednesday afternoon.
"It doesn't make sense to play in the physical condition I'm in," Berkman
said.
Berkman has had continuing problems with his right knee, the same injury that
limited him to 73 games for the Rangers last season.
"I'm not going to keep trying to run out there for the heck of it," Berkman
said.
During his 15-year career, Berkman made the National League All-Star Team six
times and was a member of five playoff teams, including the 2011 Cardinals,
who won the World Series.
