A true class act! Pitched his last innings ever last night. Girardi had Pettit and Jeter pull him from the game. First time ever one "player" let alone two pulled a pitcher from a game. Girardi spoke to the umpires prior to doing it to make sure it was "legal," There was no precedent to go by and they could find nothing in the rule book banning it so they said go for it. All three broke down on the mound as Pettit is retiring this week also and all 3 were called up to the Yankees from the minors in 1995.
