Two-time All-Star Melvin Mora is retiring from baseball, five weeks shy of his 40th birthday. Mora played 13 seasons in the big leagues, 10 of them with the Baltimore Orioles. He began last year with the Arizona Diamondbacks, was released on July 1 while hitting .228 with no home runs and did not play again in the majors. "It's a very difficult decision because this has been my life, but it's time to do it," Mora said Thursday at a news conference in Valencia, Venezuela.
