PHOTOS: Yankees to honor Andy Pettitte with commemorative patch
The New York Yankees are set to retire Andy Pettitte's No. 46 on Aug. 23 at Yankee Stadium, and will also honor the left-hander with a commemorative patch.
Pettitte, who was known for his menacing stare while receiving signs, contributed to five World Series championships in the Bronx.
The patch, which perfectly captures Pettitte's pre-pitch routine, will be featured on the caps of all Yankee players for the game with the Cleveland Indians.
