[洋基] Yankees planning to retire Pettitte's No. 46

[johnyank (John)]

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Yankees will celebrate the career of baseball's winningest
postseason pitcher, Andy Pettitte, by retiring his uniform number (46) and
unveiling a plaque in Monument Park prior to an Aug. 23 game against the
Indians at Yankee Stadium.

A club source confirmed the Yankees' intentions regarding Pettitte, who
completed his 18-year Major League career at the end of the 2013 season. The
left-hander posted a career record of 256-153 with a 3.85 ERA, plus 19 more
wins in the postseason. He spent 15 seasons with New York and three with the
Astros.

Pettitte's son, Josh, revealed the date and plans via his Twitter account. A
five-time World Series winner and "Core Four" member, Pettitte was a
three-time All-Star and the MVP of the 2001 American League Championship
Series. He stands as the Yankees' all-time leader in strikeouts (2,020) and
starts (438) while ranking third in wins (219) and innings (2,796 1/3).

The Yankees have made efforts to honor personalities from the late-1990s
dynasty in recent years. Last year, Joe Torre, Tino Martinez and Paul
O'Neill, as well as Goose Gossage -- who pitched for the Yankees in the 1970s
and '80s -- were honored with plaques. Mariano Rivera was inducted into
Monument Park late in 2013, and the Yankees have announced that they will
honor Bernie Williams at some point this season.

Not including Williams, whose No. 51 has not been used since his last game,
the Yankees have already retired 16 numbers, including 8 (Yogi Berra and Bill
Dickey) and 42 (Jackie Robinson and Rivera) twice, making Pettitte the 19th
player to receive such an honor. Torre's No. 6 was the most recent addition
to a group that will almost certainly be joined by Derek Jeter's No. 2 in the
near future.
