Andy Pettitte was drafted by the Yankees in 1990 and made his MLB debut in 1995, a couple of months before I was born. I didn’t start getting into baseball until 2004, when Pettitte was serving his brief stint with the Houston Astros.
This meant that I didn’t get to watch Pettitte don the pinstripes until he returned to the Bronx in 2007, at which point baseball and the Yankees had completely captured my heart.
When I began watching the Yankees, while Pettitte was still in Houston, Derek Jeter and the newest member of the team, Alex Rodriguez, caught my attention.
