After 17 seasons with the Yankees, he only played for the Yankees, Jorge Posada has retired.

Jorge, a switch hitting catcher retired after earning 5 all-star games, 5 Silver Slugger Awards (best hitting player at his position) and 4 World Series Championships. In 2003, he finished third in voting for the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award and became only the second Yankees catcher after Yogi Berra to hit 30 home runs in a season. Posada added one of his best seasons in 2007 at age 35 when he batted .338. Posada was only the fifth MLB catcher with 1,500 hits, 350 doubles, 275 home runs, and 1,000 RBIs in a career. From 2000 to 2011, he compiled more RBIs and home runs than any other catcher in baseball. He is the only MLB catcher to ever bat .330 or better with 40 doubles, 20 home runs, and 90 RBIs in a single season. And I cannot remember another catcher who threw out as many runners trying to steal 2nd base as Jorge did. He is a shoe in to Cooperstown on the 1st vote.
