Millwood calls it a career

The Shelby Star reports veteran pitcher Kevin Millwood announced his retirement after spending 16 seasons in the majors. “I’m just ready to retire,” Millwood said. “I feel like I can still throw it well and going out on a high note is a big dea. I just felt it was time to be closer to home and to be around the kids more often.”
