Matt Stairs, the career leader in pinch-hit home runs, plans to retire, according to an ESPN.com report. The Nationals cut the 43-year-old Stairs on Monday after he hit just .154 with two RBIs and no home runs in 56 games. Stairs told CBC News on Wednesday he hasn't made an official announcement but plans to retire. He has played 19 seasons with a major league-record 13 teams.
