Andy Petite, an all-time great pitcher, announced his retirement from the New York Yankees after 16 Major League Seasons—13 of them pitching for the Yankees.

The Yankees will likely honor him with a “Day” at Yankee Stadium during the upcoming season when the fans will have a chance to show their appreciation.
