A former Philadelphia Phillies infielder had a great message for the team’s fans Tuesday as he officially announced his retirement.
Whit Merrifield said in a statement Tuesday that he has officially retired from Major League Baseball. The three-time All-Star is best remembered for his time with the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays, but spent part of the back end of his career with the Phillies.
In a message to fans, Merrifield acknowledged all of the teams he played for, even the Phillies. That portion, however, was easily the most memorable.
“Philly, I liked you way more than you liked me. Sorry I stunk for you,” Merrifield wrote.
