I feel bad for guys like Mauer, Wright, and Jones. Stayed loyal to their team and never won a championship

[TheOtherSideOfThePillow]

David Wright will make a great coach someday

[heartlandmodding]

Joe Mauer is the epitome of a class act ball player. No scandals, faithful to the same team his entire career, and a solidly great player consistently. He reminds me of what baseball used to be in it’s glory days.

One of the most beautiful things about baseball being a slow game, is that it allows for moments of ceremony without it seeming to be interrupting with the flow of things. It is a game where the crowd and the players are allowed to interact in a genuine relationship, and give each other gifts of appreciation and farewells. Baseball is a beautiful game.

Man time flies I remember when my Joe Mauer and Wright were the young guys in the 2000s and now they retiring and Adam Jones held it down for Baltimore probably the best since Cal Ripken did and I damn sure going to miss Adrian Beltre was one of my favorite Dodgers when he was there back in the day and one of my favorite players ever since he came to the league I hope he plays one more years he can get 500 home runs he's already a lot for the hall in my opinion and and congratulations to Victor Martinez was a great catcher during his Indian and tiger days

[highflyflo]

Adam Jones is def one of the classiest guys I've seen. Dedicated to his community as much as he was to his team. Salute!

[jul_luth]

I love how David Wright took time to thank the umpires and all of his teammates.

[RowdyLowdy]

David Wright is about as classy as they come.

[tycoflo]

When chipper left I cried man. One of the best braves ever.

[adamkaplan]

if it wasnt for that injury david wright could definitly play for 3 more years at least

[xxxxbigrich]

I'm a Yankee fan who lives in the bronx! I have nothing but respect for David Wright because he play the game the right way! Take a bow guys you've earned it. Great video well done! 👏👏👏👏👏

[richardmaher]

Goodbye and Good Luck to David Wright from a Yankees fan !

[stevenkunzer]

Beltre is one if the greatest 3rd basemen ever and watching his Texas years were some of the greatest ever.

[skylarmcmahon]

As a Mets fan, I respect the Miami Marlins for also clapping for him. That’s good sportsmanship 💙

[randomtraveler]

Adam Jones is a strong leader who always protected and looked out for his teammates. I hope he considers coaching or managing after he retires.

[FANTOllVll]

Adam jones leaving broke my heart. Hes why im an orioles fan. Even with terrible records he was always playing his heart out

[bernardwilliams]

David Wright (VA boy) hanging up those cleats. Congrats brother!

[darthcaedus]

Shame wright retired due to injuries. Go mets. Glad he was able to go to the WS even when we didn't win it.

[pandakog]

David Wright is my favorite player of all time as a Mets fan all I can say is thank you for being here and believing in us the fans and trying your best to come back as good as ever before.

[zackhaselius]

Man didnt even think about some of these guys. Hunter Pence, Nelson Cruz, Adam Wainwright, Victor Martinez, Jose Reyes, etc. Man. End of an era in baseball. Hopefully Mauer, Cruz, Waino, and Beltre will stick around for one more year.
