The New York Yankees‘ legend is on the Hall of Fame ballot again in 2019. Andy Pettitte received just under 10% of the vote in his first year on the ballot and seems to be garnering enough support this year to continue to stay on the ballot.
However, he deserves better than just remaining on the ballot. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame for his remarkable consistency, career totals and his postseason heroics.
Consistency
Pettitte was never thought of as a top-tier pitcher. He wouldn’t dominate by striking out 15 hitters while giving up only two hits over eight innings.
