I think the last few years, moreso than I can remember, we have seen a lot of guys not officially retire from baseball, but are not on any team currently because they are either no longer good, not healthy, etc.
Who are some players who have not officially retired, yet are no longer part of MLB?
I am sure the list is plenty, but here are two off the top of my head.
-Barry Bonds
-Frank Thomas
I don't think Clemens, Sosa, or Palmeiro retired.
If they ask who was our star, give them twenty five names, and if you forget our names, just tell them we were Yankees.
Has Bernie officially retired?
Heck, I'm not sure Derek Bell is officially retired, still in "Operation Shutdown"
SI: Do you have a secret ambition?
Igawa: That's secret.
"They should just practice during the regular season and show up for the playoffs -Ichiro on the Yankees
Bernie Williams anyone?
Bernie hasn't called it quits yet. He played in last year's WBC.

Jose Offerman is still attacking umps.
I thought of him too but he made the HoF. He must've filed the retirement papers with MLB.Originally Posted by Yankeeah

A ray of sunshine melts my frown, blows my blues away.
As long as he hadn't played in a major league game in 5 years, he was considered eligible, regardless of whether he made any kind of choice to be retired.
Pretty much anybody on the Nats.
nope.
Explain???
^ This.
Guess my username is wrong now....
Timmah!!!
Heck, did Jimmy Key ever officially retire? One year he was with the O's, the next ... gone. True, this was a while ago ...
This chick digs the long ball
Johnny Damon
If you're going with this we may as well add this rest of this year's FA class that haven't signed ... I think you're jumping the gun with this one.

Babe Ruth never officially retired either
Yogi is a National Treasure. Let's put him in a National Hall of Fame. The man has no peers.
Who did he go to ST with?? btw, thanks.
heres the list I can think of
Tom Glavine
Pedro Martinez*
John Smoltz*
Frank Thomas
Bernie Williams
Nomar Garciapara*
Johnny Damon*
Barry Bonds (funny too cause he's like 70 hits away from 3,000)
Jim Edmonds
* = played in 2009 but not on a team yet with 19 days til pitchers and catchers
The real reason why the Yankees keep winning is cause the other team can't stop staring at the damn pinstripes
O's..
And only 4 RBI from 2000 haha.
Javy Vazquez's 2010 non-Cy Young season: 4-10, 7.15 ERA, 140 Ks, 170 IP.
