Pitcher Kirk Rueter Retires

Kirk Rueter retired Monday, ending a 13-year major league career during which he became the winningest left-handed pitcher in San Francisco Giants history.

Rueter finished with a 130-92 record and a 4.27 ERA. He won 105 games after joining the Giants near the end of the 1996 season, surpassing Mike McCormick last year as the winningest lefty in San Francisco history.


Kirk was always one of my favorite pitchers in our rotation. Not just for his impressive arsenal of pitches, but for his great attitude and sense of humor. He was infamous for his numerous good-luck charms, including a horseshoe that he kept in his pocket while pitching.

The Giants are planning a Woody day this season. I'm so there.

And I'll bring a horseshoe.
