Veteran right-hander Haren calls it a career

After 13 big league seasons and 153 career wins, Dan Haren is hanging up his spikes for good.

Haren, 35, announced his retirement via Twitter on Thursday night, after his Cubs were swept out of the National League Championship Series by the Mets.

"Thank you baseball. I played this beautiful game for 30 years. I took my jersey off for the last time tonight. It was an honor. #ithrew88," Haren tweeted.

A second-round pick of the Cardinals in the 2001 MLB Draft, Haren made his big league debut with the club just two seasons later. After spending parts of two seasons in St. Louis, the right-hander was shipped to Oakland in December 2004 as part of a deal that sent Mark Mulder to the Redbirds.

Haren blossomed with the A's and was selected to his first All-Star team with Oakland in 2007 before being traded to Arizona in December of that year. He was an All-Star again in each of his first two seasons with the D-backs, winning 16 games in 2008 and finishing fifth in the National League Cy Young Award voting in '09.
