Lieberthal calls it a career


Veteran catcher Mike Lieberthal has decided to call it a career after 14 seasons in the big leagues.


Had the Dodgers picked up his option for 2008, Lieberthal says he would have played one more year.


"There were a lot of reasons," Lieberthal said. "The money was great as a backup, but I have made enough money in baseball. I just didn't want to go through what I have to go through with my body to play 20-25 games a year. It's not worth it. I'm in a totally happy place."
