Many media outlets are reporting that Andy Pettitte will announce his retirement from baseball today for the second time. He retired back in 2010, but made his return to the sport and to the Yankees this season. The Yankees are currently chasing a playoff spot, but time is their enemy as they are slowing fading as the season draws to a close. If the Yanks do not make the playoffs then Pettitte would have 2 starts left in his career. A three-time All-Star with 255 career wins, Pettitte won five World Series with the Yankees and appeared in the Fall Classic in 2005 with the Astros. He is the all-time leader in postseason victories with 19. Even in his 18th season, Pettitte has still looked good at times, however I would agree it is time to leave the game behind. An announcement is expected today at some point.
