ESPN
NEW YORK -- New York Yankees starter Andy Pettitte is again announced his retirement from Major League Baseball Friday.
The New York Yankees released a statement and set up a press conference for 3:30 p.m., prior to the team's game against the San Francisco Giants.
Pettitte released the following statement:
"I'm announcing my retirement prior to the conclusion of our season because I want all of our fans to know now - while I'm still wearing this uniform - how grateful I am for their support throughout my career. I want to have the opportunity to tip my cap to them during these remaining days and thank them for making my time here with the Yankees so special.
