New York Yankees’ Andy Petitte was one of those involved in the Mitchell Report, Major League Baseball’s internal investigation into steroids. Former Yankees teammate Jason Grimsley named him as a performance-enhancing drug user. He also admitted to using human growth hormone (HGH), although according to him, it was for the quick recovery of his elbow and not for performance enhancement.

Last Sunday night, 50,173 fans cheered as Petitte led the Yankees to a victory against the Los Angeles Angels.

Who would have thought fans would embrace Petitte after the steroids controversy? However, in New York, nobody cares as long as Petitte wins. A player with 229 regular-season wins and a record 16 in the playoffs will surely be forgiven.

Petitte surely belongs to the first kind of cheaters. The ones on anyone’s favorite team, who are forgiven when they perform well, just like Alex Rodriguez. The other kind of cheater is the one   unfortunate enough to be called a “creep who ruined baseball”.

The Yankees will open the World Series on Wednesday. They will play against the Philadelphia Phillies, just like their familiar role for the first time since 2003.

Petitte was smart enough to admit his deed on the first day of spring training two years ago. Rather forever regret a chapter in his career; he was celebrated for his wisdom.

From Chicago Tribune:

NEW YORK — Andy Pettitte on the mound, Derek Jeter everywhere,Mariano Rivera at closing time, the Bronx rocking as the clock struck midnight. The first Turn Back the Clock Night at Yankee Stadium.
