Longtime Giant, Dodger will make official announcement
tomorrow.

[view:node_ad=5]A long and storied career has come to an end. Jeff Kent, the
man who LA Dodger fans despised for so long during his tenure with the San Francisco
Giants, only to fall in love with him when he wore Dodger blue, will officially
announce his retirement Thursday at Dodger Stadium.

 

Kent
will leave a notable legacy, retiring as baseball's all-time home run leader
among second basemen with 377 during his 17 year career.

 

His last four years were spent playing for the Dodgers,
where he amassed a .291 batting average, 122 doubles, 75 home runs and 311 RBI
with the club.
