Antonio Pierce retires, goes to work with SmootSmack

I always thought Pierce thought he was a much better MLB than he was. I never really liked the guy. Once he came up as a FA, I didn't think he deserved anywhere near the contract he got.

He was a very good player to me, never great, and there was just a little bit too much bark from that guy.

In any case, he did have a nice career and got a ring, so congrats to him. I do feel bad that the neck issue is what's causing his career to be cut short, that and the apparent lack of interest in him.
