Andy Pettitte Returns to Yankees: A year after he left the game, Andy Pettitte has signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the New York Yankees. Pettitte, 39, is the all-time leader in postseason wins (19), starts (42) and innings pitched (263) and third among Yankees in wins (203).
Just another piece in the puzzle that spending time with your wife and kids doesn't compare with having the adoration of 50,000 screaming fans in a ball park.
That line should go the way of the 'it's not about the money'.

If I had a choice between $2.5 mil + pitching in pinstripes, and killing my wife and kids, I'd have to flip a coin.

Oh goodie, we all just became involuntary future witnesses for the prosecution. :)

If I had the talent to play pro sports I wouldn't care who I played for. I'd just be grateful to be given the opportunity to make so much money.
