The two-time All-Star, two-time World Series champ, and 2006 World Series MVP has called it quits. 

Eckstein played a total of 10 seasons for the Anaheim Angels, St. Louis Cardinals, Toronto Blue Jays, Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres. He was among the league leaders in singles several times and posted a lifetime average of .280 with an on-base percentage of .345 and 35 home runs.

While it is an overused phrase to say a player makes up for his size with heart, David Eckstein was the perfect example. The 5’6” Eckstein played with a heart of Andre the Giant. Eckstein was a walk-on at the University of Florida, and was able to play his way into an athletic scholarship. A 19th-round pick in 1997, he was able to become a rock in the majors for a decade. 

David Eckstein, the second greatest baseball player Sanford has given the world (behind Tim Raines).
