Dallas Braden has decided to retire from baseball after failing to come back following multiple shoulder surgeries.
"There is nothing left in there, it's just a shredded mess," Braden said. "I left my arm on the mound at the Coliseum, and I'm OK with that."
Braden pitched the 19th perfect game in Major League history.
"That game will always define the one solid day of work I had and the fact that I got to share it with my grandmother, only a few people appreciate the magnitude of that," Braden said. "That was living the dream."
