Posted: Tue Jul 2, 2013 11:55 am
Andy Pettitte struck out Justin Morneau on Monday night, breaking Whitey Ford's record for career strikeouts by a Yankees pitcher.
Pettitte has 1,958 strikeouts in his career. Ford has held the mark since he retired in 1967.
"I feel very fortunate to be around for as long as I have," Pettitte said. "To be able to be mentioned with Whitey's name is obviously always an honor."
