Shocking Retirement

The greatest home run hitter in British history, Alistair Bolton, has retired. He is but three and thirty years of age.

Bolton suffered a grievous knee injury back on the 23rd of May, which cost him the opportunity to play all but sixteen matches of this entire programme last. After Reds won the EOI Cup against Sunderland, it became clear that Bolton’s knee would never heal enough t allow him to play at the highest level again, and so he has decided to retire rather than risk any further setbacks.

No one in League history has ever displayed such prodigious displays of power as has Alistair Bolton. In his career he has hit an astounding 268 home runs, well over one hundred more than his nearest peer, and he has produced eight out of the nine highest home run seasons in League history, at both levels, including thirty eight twice. Indeed, only one other baseballer has hit as many as twenty in a season.

Bolton also won the both Batsman of the Year and Baseballer of the Year accolades thrice, twice in the Second Division and once in the First.

This is a stunning loss for the Liverpool club despite their current possession of the EOI Cup. There will surely never be another baseballer who will match the powerful exploits of Alistair Bolton.
