Item Description

Attention Yankees Fans! This is a truly one of a kind item! A Mystic Aquarium T-shirt and hat, signed by the one and only Andy Pettitte!! Don't miss out on this one!

Pettitte was part of seven American League pennant-winning teams, one National League pennant-winning team and five World Series championship teams. He holds the record for most wins in postseason history with 19. He is the only MLB pitcher since 1930 to win at least 12 games in each of his first nine seasons.

For his career, Pettitte had a 240–138 win-loss record with a 3.88 ERA and 2,251 strikeouts in 3,055 13 innings. He also never had a losing season in Major League Baseball. Pettitte and teammate Mariano Rivera have combined for a record 68 win-save combinations, the most in history. Pettitte, Rivera, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada have been noted as the "Core Four" as they had been teammates for the five World Series won between 1996-2009.

Pettitte was 19–10 with a 3.83 ERA and 173 strikeouts in the postseason (1995–2003, 2005, 2007, 2009–2010), with the most postseason wins in the history of Major League Baseball. He also holds the all-time record for most starts and innings pitched in the post-season (42 and 263, through 2010).

He was the second starting pitcher in history to win three series-clinching games (ALDS, ALCS and World Series) in the same postseason (2009). Derek Lowe did the same in 2004, but with one of the wins in relief, and additionally, Pettitte won the game where the Yankees clinched the division.

When Pettitte started Game 3 of the 2009 World Series, he passed Christy Mathewson and Waite Hoyt, with the second most World Series starts. Whitey Ford is in front with 22 starts. Pettitte has played in 8 different World Series (7 with the Yankees, and one with the Astros), and been on the winning end of 19 postseason series – both of which are tops among active players.

During the period from 1995–2010, no major league pitcher accumulated more victories. His 148 wins from 2000 to 2009 were the most in the decade.
