New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte is on his way to New York City today to tell the Yankees his intentions to retire, according to WFAN.
Pettitte has been quiet about his future ever since the season ended in the ALCS. The Yankees have waited all winter for Pettitte to decide, and now just two weeks before spring training the legendary pitcher plans to hang up his glove forever.
Pettitte went 11-3 in 2010, but injuries hindered him from completing what was an outstanding season. Pettitte finished with 240 wins in the regular season, and is one of the winningest pitchers in the postseason with 19 victories.
He will always be remembered for his clutch performances in the playoffs. In 2009, Pettitte won the clinching game of each of the Yankees three playoff series, culminating in the club's 27th World Championship.
The Yankees wanted him back, but Pettitte, who has always been concerned about spending time with his family, finally decided that family was more important this time around.
