Moving On With Life (2023 Retirements)

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I have no memory of Lus Avilan as a Met

/looks up/ spent all of 2019 as a Met /d'oh

[metirish]

He used to come out to Roxy Music Avalon

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That fact should be in the Memories of Luis Avilan thread but I can't remember if we had one

[metirish]

I was absolutely taking the piss , sorry, I have zero memory of the man

He did, in fact, trigger entrance-music memories https://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/archives/29100/f1_t29132.shtmlin his memories thread, but alas, it wasn't Roxy Music.

Avilán indeed had memorable (to me) walkup music.

Former Mets farmhand and no longer on-the-hook Rangers right fielder Nelson Cruz has announced his retirement.

He was the guy I was trying to think about in the "They later became all-stars" thread. But since he never played for the Mets, he wouldn't have counted anyhow.

Later

Ian Kennedy, long-ago hot stuff in MFY system, retires as this season's sixth-oldest American Leaguer. Was part of the blockbuster that shuffled Grandy and Scherzer early in their careers. Takes home a ring as an inactive Ranger pitcher this fall.

Andrelton Simmons, who I'm fairly certain came up about five minutes ago with the Braves, announces he is retired, after not playing in 2023.
