Fighters Announce Nagata Will Retire Friday, July 12th, 2013 Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters right fielder Kunimatsu Nagata will retire at the end of the season, according to reports out of team headquarters. Nagata, 36, has been considering retirement since last season sources say, though he has declined to speak publicly about retirement. "Kunimatsu still likes baseball," one source said, "He wants to play, but he also knows he's getting up in age and the skills are not what he wants them to be. He says it's physically getting harder to go out there every day. That's why he's hanging up his spikes." |
