Edgar retires
Edgar Martinez retired today. I never became a Mariners fan in my years living here (true baseball fandom is like religion, it's acquired in one's youth), but I'll miss watching Edgar hit. The way he stayed behind the ball and produced power to the opposite field was beautiful to watch.
UPDATE: Edgar won't retire until season's end, giving his fans an opportunity to bid him a fond farewell.
