Mike Piazza is retiring following a 16-year career in which he became one of the top-hitting catchers in MLB history, as reported by the Associated Press.

?After discussing my options with my wife, family and agent, I felt it is time to start a new chapter in my life,? he said in a statement released Tuesday by his agent, Dan Lozano. ?It has been an amazing journey ? So today, I walk away with no regrets.

?I knew this day was coming and over the last two years. I started to make my peace with it. I gave it my all and left everything on the field.?
