So Long Jorge!

[HD MM]

NEW YORK -- With tears filling his eyes, Jorge Posada announced his retirement from baseball on Tuesday. Posada began the press conference by reading from a prepared statement, calling his experience as a Yankee "priceless."

"I could never wear another uniform ... I will forever be a Yankee." - Jorge.

Best wishes in retirement my ol' friend!

I LOVED Jorge! And very proud to say he was a Puerto Rican born ballplayer with Cuban parents(my wife, who is Cuban, always brings that up...LOL)!

During the Yankees-Red Sox epic 7 game ALCS's in 2003 and 2004, there were three players I hated to see come up with men on base: Derek Jeter, Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada.

In 2004 you wanted all players coming up to be named A-Rod!

Seriously, thanks very much Jorge...you were a great Yankee in my book...a class act all the way.
