Jeter, Pettitte, Posada appear on ‘Letterman’
NEW YORK (AP)—Andy Pettitte(notes) says on the “Late Show with David Letterman” that winning the World Series is especially gratifying in New York, where missing out on a championship is considered a failure.
Pettitte and Yankees teammates Derek Jeter(notes) and Jorge Posada(notes) appeared on the show Thursday night, a day after capturing the franchise’s 27th title. World Series MVP Hideki Matsui(notes) later joined them on stage, carrying the championship trophy.
Pettitte says he’s close to retirement and that pitching one more season “would probably be good,” because he wants to spend more time with his kids. Jeter jokes Pettitte has been saying that for about six straight years.

Hate the Yanks all you want. There are some owners that have the money and go Donald Sterling with it and then complain that they don't have a chance. Would you rather have team that at least tries to win by getting the best players? And, if you were a ball player, what, you don't want to be a Yankee? Right, I'm sure you want to be a National or a Royal.
27 and counting baby!

No matter who lost or won ahead of him-"Big Game" Andy pitched and won game 3.
Not bad for just 10 mil.
Next year we take on the do or die Mets in the Fall Classic.
I like to think, that we helped out our baby brother-and beat up the Philly bully.
Ryan Howard is a great player.
