In this Sept. 7, 2008 file photo, New York Yankees' Mike Mussina pitches to the Seattle Mariners during the first inning of a baseball game in Seattle. FoxSports.com reported Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2008, that Mussina intends to retire and will make the move official this week. In the report, the Web site cited unidentified major league sources.

New York Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina announced his retirement Thursday even as he comes off his first 20-win season. Mussina, who turns 40 next month, was 270-153 with a 3.68 ERA in 18 seasons in the majors. He becomes the first pitcher to retire after a 20-win season since Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax in 1966.
