Garret Anderson Retires After 17 Seasons In Majors

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Garret Anderson is retiring after 17 seasons in baseball, almost all of them with the Angels.

The 38-year-old left fielder says he has no regrets and may consider a coaching career.

Anderson's first big league season was in 1994. Along the way he had more than 2,500 hits, a career average of nearly .300 and won a World Series title in 2002.

He spent the first 15 years of his career with the Angels, before playing for Atlanta in 2009 and the Dodgers last season.

Anderson was an All-Star in 2002, 2003 and 2005.
