Former Houston Astros Josh Reddick acknowledges the crowd before giving the ‘Play Ball’ call in the first inning during Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at Minute Maid Park on Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2022, in Houston.WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Before an Astros-Yankees American League Championship game he was attending as a fan last October,as soon as he wrapped up a stint in the Australian Baseball League.
"How do I even start to write about this?," he posted."I didn't think I'd be announcing this at 36 years old, but then again, I never imagined the ride I was going to be on for nearly 12 years. It is time for me to walk away from the game of baseball." In a career that spanned 13 seasons with five different teams, Reddick hit .262 with 146 home runs. His longest stint was 4 ½ years in Oakland, but his most memorable was with the Astros, who signed him to a four-year, $52 million contract before the 2017 season.
He produced one of the best years of his career in that first season, helping the Astros win their first World Series while hitting a career-best .314 with 13 home runs and 82 RBI. He was a fan favorite with Houston fans adopting his Ric Flair-like “Woo!” yell during his at-bats.
