Former New York Yankees lefty Andy Pettitte began his 14th season in 2008 as he donned this Majestic size 50 button-down white with navy blue pinstripes during the final Opening Day of the Old Yankee Stadium on April 1st against the Toronto Blue Jays. Pettitte wore this Majestic Cool Base jersey with the traditional interlocking “NY” sewn on in navy blue tackle twill on the upper left chest. Pettitte’s number “46” is sewn on in navy blue tackle twill and the MLB logo patch in red, white and blue on the back of the jersey. Each sleeve has a special patch with the left sleeve having the commemorative “1923-2008 YANKEE STADIUM” patch and the right sleeve having the “2008 ALL*STAR GAME” patch. The Majestic tag is sewn on the bottom front left tail with a “2008” and “50” flags attached. This jersey can also be dated to the early season as a black armband was added to the left sleeve in mid-July following the passing of former Yankee player and announcer Bobby Murcer. The Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays that Opening Day with Chien-Ming Wang getting the win over Roy Holladay and Mariano Rivera getting the save. Pettitte had a solid 2008 season as he compiled a 14-14 record, 4.54 ERA, 158 strikeouts and pitched 204 innings. This jersey comes with a full LOA from Mears, who have graded this jersey a perfect A10 and holograms from MLB Authenticated (BB931187) which dates this jersey to him wearing on April 1st and Steiner Sports (68988).
