Baseball
After 12 seasons in the MLB catcher Buster Posey has announced his retirement from baseball. Posey finishes his illustrious career with a .302 batting average and 158 home runs. The news may come as a shock to many since he just had one his best statistical seasons in 2021 with a .304 average and 18 home runs, ultimately winning NL Comeback Player of the Year.
