Holt announced the news on his personal Instagram page with the message: ''Damn it that was fun. For parts of 10 years I got to do the only thing I ever wanted to do...play Major League Baseball. Today I hang them up knowing I did the best I could for me, my family, and my teammates. I'm proud of every single second of it.''
