    Sad, wish we could still have him on the team but his time is up. Let's hope by some chance he gets into the HOF.

    I am not a Yankee fan, but wouldn't this have been expected? There was friction over his benching last year. You had to know something would give.

    Good player, a tad overrated. This is a good thing that he is retiring.

    Just watched the press conference. I am going to miss Jorge big time. It was clearly time to hang em up, but he had a great career.

    PS: His wife is super hott.

    My favorite memory is his double in the 03 alcs game 7. When the Yanks were in a jam,i always felt like he would come through at the plate.

    Yeah, that was great. Many great ones. This is a minor one overall, but a great memory I had was at Camden Yards a few years back, it was 4-4 in the 9th and I said loudly Here Comes a Solo Shot! and my O's friends laughed and Jorge crushed it out to give the Yanks the 5-4 lead and eventual win. He was a great player to cheer for.

    My favorite memory was him yelling at Pedro during the '03 ALCS.

    I was glad I got to see Posada finally before he retired in the Cincinnati series last season. He played first base and hit a home run in the 2nd inning. Great teammate, great player. He will be missed.

    Lets be honest, he retired a few years ago, he just kept showing up and collecting a check.
