If Andy Pettitte decides to retire, the New York Times writes that he isn't a lock for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Ben Shpigel writes that Pettitte "will retire with more victories than Whitey Ford, a better winning percentage than Bob Feller, Juan Marichal and Tom Seaver, and the most postseason wins in baseball history. Pettitte also owns a higher earned run average than Bob Welch, Rick Reuschel and Jerry Reuss, despite pitching fewer innings, and has finished in the top three in Cy Young Award balloting once." The Post polled nine baseball writers and only two said they would vote for him for the Hall of Fame. Four said they would not vote for Pettitte and three said they were undecided. "He has had an excellent career but has not crossed the Hall of Fame threshold," said Bob Nightengale of USA Today in an e-mail. "He would need to rack up another strong season or two for me to consider him for the Hall of Fame. He has always been an outstanding complementary pitcher, but never that ace." Candidates must receive 75 percent of votes cast by 10-year members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
