Great career- over 250 wins, very good winning percentage, ERA pretty good (in the high 3's). Obviously lots of WS rings because he spent the majority of his career with the Yankees....

Without the PED issue, Andy Pettit might have gone into the HOF, but it's close. I suspect that he's certainly not a slam dunk.

All things considered, he's been a lot of fun to watch throughout his career.
Thanks for the memories, Andy!

Being a yankees fan, I'd like to think he will be inducted to the Hall. I've been fortunate to meet him a couple of times and he has always been down to earth . I'll certainly miss watching him pitch .

In my opinion he is a HOFer. PEDs may hurt his legacy, but he was the definition of a big game pitcher.

For his career he is 19-11 in the postseason including 7 - 2 in the ALCS. That makes him a major reason why those Yankees teams found themselves in the World Series.

He's also 105 wins over losses and pitched his entire career in the toughest division in baseball.

Also a world class nice guy.

Clutch Pitcher and a very good guy...

If he were on any team other than the Yankees, I would say no to his HOF chances. But having the NY market exposure, it may counter-balance the PED concerns. Only the passage of time will tell how it reflects on this current crop.

Changing his tune on "The Rocket" won't help him with the writers much IMO.
Not a HOFer without that incident anyway IMO, very good pitcher on some extremely good teams. Who knows though, the "halo effect" might get him in.
