He expressed being "blessed to have a home" in Baltimore and with the organization for 10 years, along with shouting out the three teams that signed him to minor league contracts.
"As some of you may have heard, I am officially retiring from professional baseball," Mancini wrote. "I am blessed to have made a home in the Orioles organization for 10 years, win a World Series in Houston, play for the Cubs in Chicago (I wish I played better for you guys), and make it back up to the MLB with the Angels. I'd also like to thank the Reds , Marlins, and Diamondbacks for giving me opportunities in their organizations."
At any rate, Baltimore fans look ahead to Sept. 19 for Mancini's retirement celebration as the team will take on the Milwaukee Brewers , with the Orioles currently 65-69, putting them fourth in the AL East.
