Michael Young was accompanied by manager Ron Washington and GM Jon Daniels at a press conference this evening to announce his retirement. Young went over a wide range of subjects, talking about how he is looking forward to spending more time with his family, his career in retrospect, as well as his participation in the 2011 World Series.

Young still has a bit to say about that. Via Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star Telegram:

It was a very close World Series, ultimately decided in seven games. To say that the Rangers were “flat out” better than the Cardinals is a bit of an overstatement — and one not backed up by the stats — but we’ll let it slide since Young is probably a bit emotional today.
