Will Pettitte open the new Yankee Stadium?

mysportsrumors posted 6/13/2008 from mysportsrumors.com [flag]

New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte likes to play guessing games about his career, much like his former best friend Roger Clemens. Andy almost retired after last season, but decided to come back to the Yankees for a whopping $16 million deal for one season. Not a bad deal for someone who had an era over 4.00. There’s no doubt he’s enjoying the chance to close out the current Yankee Stadium. [link]
