Steve Pearce Retires

While it was widely speculated that this was the case, 2018 World Series MVP, Steve Pearce, announced his retirement last night on WEEI, a radio station in Boston.

Pearce debuted in the Majors with Pittsburgh in 2007, and he would have stops in Baltimore, Houston, New York (AL), Baltimore (again), Tampa, Toronto, and finally Boston.  He was never a regular starter, and the most Hits he ever had in a year was 99, which was in 2014 with the Orioles.  

Pearce’s defensive versatility and occasional power kept him employed, and in the 2018 World Series, he belted three Home Runs, with right RBIS, and a .333 Batting Average, earning him the MVP.

While Pearce has no chance to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame, anyone who has a World Series MVP might have a shot to make the ballot, for which he is eligible in 2025.

He would have 572 Hits, 91 Home Runs, and a .254 Batting Average over his career.
