NEW YORK -- Andy Pettitte was back in the Yankees' dugout March 7 to watch his old friend, CC Sabathia, pitch in a spring training game. A seat was open next to the Core Four member.
Jordan Montgomery wasn't going to let it stay that way.
Montgomery, set to make his second career big-league start Monday against the White Sox at home, plopped into the spot and spent three innings talking baseball with Pettitte. It was an experience the 6-foot-6 lefty will never forget.
"It was so cool," the 24-year-old said Sunday.
