One of the most popular New YorkYankee players was Andy Pettitte. Andy pitched nine successful years with the Yankees before leaving at the end of his contract to pitch for the Houston Astros in 2004 so that he could be closer to his young children at the time. In his three times with the Yankees he was one of our most successful pitchers, but his claim to fame was his postseason play. He was 18-10 for the Yankees. In 2009, the last time we won a World Series, Pettite won his game in the ALDS against Twins, won his game in the ALCS against the Angels, and won both of his games in the World Series against the National League Phillies.
