TORONTO -- Larry Walker might retire after this season, citing age and injuries.

The 38-year-old Canadian entered the St. Louis Cardinals' game at Toronto on Monday night hitting just .249 with five homers and 23 RBIs.

''A lot of people say you know when your time is up. I had an inclination last year that my time was up. I just decided to play this year and see what happens,'' Walker said. ''It's a grind. The age and the surgeries that I've had are what's pushing me back. Father Time is creeping on me, and I realize that.''
