CONGRATS TO ANDY PETTITTE

For a long, long time, Whitey Ford was considered the absolute best Yankee pitcher ever.  And you know what? He still is.  Luckily for us, the Yankees have a lot of great players over the years.  Tonight, one of our favorites... one of the Core Four, Mr. Andy Pettitte made history.
Andy Pettitte passed Whitey for number 1 on the all-time list of strikeouts for the New York yankees.  1,958.  As the Associated Press writes (HERE): "Pettitte struck out Justin Morneau in the fifth inning against Minnesota on Monday night to give him 1,958 for his career. Ford has held the mark since he retired in 1967."
What a tremendous feat for one of of the best ever in pinstripes!  Congrats!
