SEATTLE - All good things must come to an end, even a 19-year career for one of the best Dominican players in the history of Major League Baseball. On Opening Day, the Seattle Mariners prepared a touching gesture for former designated hitter and right-fielder Nelson Cruz, who spent a large part of his long and successful career in the city of Seattle.
Cruz signed a one-day contract to officially put an end to his career but this time as a member of the Mariners. He spent four of his 19 seasons in the majors in the Pacific Northwest, earning three All-Star appearances and, most importantly, becoming a cult hero for baseball fans in Seattle.
