He was a longtime Oriole who spent his first six seasons with the Orioles.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"2\">He is remembered for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbaltv.com\/article\/trey-mancini-progress-fighting-cancer\/33418792\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">courageous battle with cancer<\/a> in 2020 and his<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbaltv.com\/article\/trey-mancini-returns-to-play-baltimore-orioles\/35686435\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> miraculous comeback in 2021.<\/a> He hit 117 home runs for the Orioles, including leading the team with 35 in 2019. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">&#8220;As some of you may have heard, I am officially retiring from professional baseball. I am blessed to have made a home in the Orioles organization for ten years, win a World Series in Houston, play for the Cubs in Chicago (I wish I played better for you guys), and make it back up to the MLB with the Angels,&#8221; Mancini said in his message on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DcLy9V6ldXb\/?img_index=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"4\">&#8220;Finally, to every fan, especially those in Birdland- your support over the years has meant the world to me. There is nothing more special in sports than a connection between a team and their fans, and I was lucky enough to feel that everywhere I played,&#8221; Mancini said.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore Orioles Bring It T-Shirt<\/p>\n<p>fanatics.com<\/p>\n<p>$34.99<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore Orioles New Era Duo Logo 59FIFTY Fitted Hat<\/p>\n<p>fanatics.com<\/p>\n<p>$47.99<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore Orioles &#8217;47 Dime Headline Pullover Hoodie<\/p>\n<p>fanatics.com<\/p>\n<p>$74.99<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore Orioles Plaid Flannel Pajama Pants<\/p>\n<p>fanatics.com<\/p>\n<p>$47.99<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American League&#8217;s Trey Mancini, of the Baltimore Orioles, acknowledges the crowd after the first round of the MLB&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":818076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[347085,347086,347084,347088,9097,371,1558,347082,325924,76695,479,84705,29603,347083,347081,15457,7095,373,347087,114322,2322,8640,363,347080,48262,347079,32424,91204,1666,5190,99,1599,302771,19632,2394],"class_list":["post-818075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-117-home-runs","tag-2019-season","tag-2021-comeback","tag-34-year-old-first-baseman","tag-baltimore","tag-baltimore-orioles","tag-baseball","tag-baseball-retirement","tag-birdland","tag-cancer-battle","tag-chicago-cubs","tag-comeback","tag-fan","tag-first-baseman","tag-former-orioles","tag-home-run","tag-houston","tag-houston-astros","tag-instagram-announcement","tag-instagram-page","tag-los-angeles-angels","tag-maryland","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-retirement","tag-orioles","tag-orioles-retirement","tag-outfielder","tag-professional-baseball","tag-retirement","tag-season","tag-sports","tag-team","tag-trey-mancini","tag-world-series","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/818076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
