"Mets fans, what can I say?," Reyes posted on Twitter. "We never got the ring we hoped we would get, but I can't imagine playing in front of any better fans in the whole world. Your passion and energy always lifted me higher and for that I will always be grateful."
The former shortstop also played for the Miami Marlins, Toronto Blue Jays and Colorado Rockies.
"As a young boy growing up in the Dominican Republic, I could have never dreamed of achieving all that I have through this incredible game," he said. "I want to thank God for all my blessings. No man can achieve success alone and with that in mind I have many that I would like to thank starting with my mom and dad. They've been there for me for all the ups and downs, the good and the bad and I will always consider myself blessed for their support and love."
