 MESA, Ariz. (AP) - Marquis Grissom announced his retirement Tuesday after a 17-year major league career.
The 38-year-old outfielder signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs in January and had hoped to make the team as a backup. But he batted just .200 in 17 spring training games.
Grissom leaves as one of seven players with 2,000 hits, 200 home runs and 400 stolen bases, joining Craig Biggio, Roberto Alomar, Barry Bonds, Rickey Henderson, Paul Molitor and Joe Morgan.
