New Jersey's Nan to Retire
<Gen Nan:player#4685> said the one thing he hopes he's remembered for in his baseball career is for being the hardest worker around.

It will be time to start reflecting on his career soon, as the 36-year-old <New Jersey Athletics:team#80> designated hitter today announced his retirement from the sport.

"I pride myself on my work ethic and I hope that rubbed off on my teammates and continues to rub off on the team after I'm gone," he said.

<Nan:player#4685> has a lifetime .240 batting average and .301 on-base percentage in his 1017-game career with 911 hits and 191 home runs.
