Mets minor leaguer gives up 14 runs, immediately retires.
Mets minor league pitcher Aaron Laffey began Wednesday night as the starting pitcher for the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s. By the end of the evening, he had given up 14 runs and quit baseball altogether.
Hours after allowing 12 earned runs in a 16-4 loss to the New Orleans Baby Cakes, Laffey pulled the plug on a career that spanned over 10 big-league seasons and more than 50 major league starts.
