Playing in Major League Baseball is a dream that many see, but only a few work up to achieve. One of those athletes who made it to the big league is Grayson Greiner. From getting selected by the Detroit Tigers to making it to the big league, Greiner has indeed come a long way. However, after playing five straight seasons in the big league for the Detroit Tigers and the Arizona Diamondbacks, the thirty-year-old catcher has decided that it is time for him to bid farewell to the game.

Being heavy-hearted, Greiner penned down an emotional note professing his love for the game, and he is going to miss it. 

What did the former Arizona Diamondbacks athlete say?

The catcher, who at first showed immense potential, could not live up to the expectations, never once carving out a regular role in his baseball career. In all five years of MLB career, Greiner played somewhat for only a season. During this time, he appeared in 139 games, took 485 trips to the plate, and hit nine home runs in his plate appearances.
