Coamo Announces Hernández Will Retire Monday, September 13th , 1897 Coamo first baseman Basilio Hernández won't be back next year. The 37-year-old announced plans today to retire at the end of the 1897 campaign, saying that it was time to call it a career. "I could probably play another year," Hernández said, "but I don't have that fire you need to play well. And I'm not going out there on those terms. It's a disservice to the Maratonistas and baseball in general. There are just too many aches and pains in this old body for me to continue playing." During his career Hernández has hit for a .242 average and totaled 56 hits, no home runs and 25 RBIs. |
