Andy Pettitte: A Class Act
Pettitte said today that he will honor the handshake agreement he has with the Yankees regarding his player option. When he signed his deal prior to last season, he told the Yankees that he would honor the second year of the contract if he did not retire. Today he reiterated that commitment. The contrast to A-Rod is stark and telling. Andy would instantly be the best pitcher on the free agent market if he selected to opt out. He could get more money and more years. Yet to him, it is not about the money. It is about keeping your word and showing some loyalty. Refreshing, isn't it?
