Brian Schneider is retiring from baseball

Brian Schneider told Mandy Housenick of The Morning Call on Tuesday evening?that he is hanging up his catching equipment for good:

?It hasn?t been an easy decision, but there are a lot of factors,? said the 36-year-old free agent. ?You don?t want to retire, but you think of your family and I think more than anything it?s physically how you feel.?I?d kind of like to leave on my own terms and not have my last impression of baseball be someone telling me I can?t play. But there is a lot going on in my life and I?m very fortunate to have a great family and start being a dad and being around more often and being a good husband.?

Schneider registered a .247/.320/.369 batting line, 781 hits, 67 home runs and 387 RBI over the course of his 13-year major league career. He played for the Expos, Nationals, Mets and Phillies while earning a total of $22.4M.
