He's back! Andy Pettitte returns to the Bronx tomorrow for his second stint with the Yankees and this blogger can't wait.
I've always had a soft spot for Pettitte and I was one of the disgruntled Yankees fans when he left for Houston after the 2003 World Series.
It will be Pettitte's first start in a Yankee uniform since that Game 6 against the Marlins and it should be a electric atmosphere in the Stadium as one of the most beloved Yankees comes back home to finish his career in the place it all started.
"The fans are going to let him know how much they missed him and we miss him," manager Joe Torre told the team's official Web site. "When they look at Andy Pettitte, they associate him with the championships that we've had here in recent years."
Pettitte was 149-78 with a 3.94 ERA during his first nine seasons with the Yankees, and 13-8 with a 4.05 ERA in 30 postseason starts over that span.
