Pettitte To Mull Retirement In Offseason
12th September, 2007 - 11:33 am
New York Daily News - Andy Pettitte has enjoyed his return to pinstripes and has been healthy all season. But he's still unsure of his plans for next year, something he will evaluate at home in Houston this winter.

Pettitte holds a $16 million player option on his contract. If he wants to pitch, he can. But Pettitte considered retiring last year and still feels the pull of ending his career to be a full-time dad to his four kids.

"I'm not real sure what I'm going to do," said Pettitte, who is 13-8 with a 3.78 ERA. "It's kind of strange, because for sure I didn't expect my arm to respond the way it has this year. That's the whole reason I wanted the option, so I didn't feel obligated if I was hurting this year to come back.

"I want to sit down with my family, my wife and my oldest boy and see what they think. I'm really not even thinking about it now." [READ]
