Mize Retires From Baseball May Be Joined by Reynolds
New York star Johnny Mize reiterated plans to end his active baseball career. Allie Reynolds of the Yankees hinted he might retire if his back does not improve over the winter. Reynolds cited back troubles since a July accident and muscular spasms. A wealthy oilman also contemplated retirement after the 1953 season, planning a winter rest to heal. Mize, nearly 34 in January, questioned whether continued play as a pinch hitter would be worthwhile.
