'Roid-y Andy Pettitte Writes the Book on Integrity

MORAL CURVEBALL Pettitte
Pride of the New York Yankees Andy Pettitte sure has an interesting hobby for someone just outed in a 404-page document as one of 86 past and present steroid users: He travels the country lecturing kids against drug use and premarital sex [emphasis ours]. It seems Pettitte is such a righteous dude that he even wrote a whole book on the subject!

A must read for fans, addicts, and investigators alike, Strike Zone: Targeting a life of Integrity and Purity—if the steroid charges are proven true—is Pettitte at his hypocritical best. "While life as a big league baseball player has brought Andy Pettitte fame and accolades, it has also brought with it temptation," says a description for the book on Amazon. "However, Andy learned to deal with temptation long before he donned his first major league uniform. While still a teenager, Andy committed himself to Christ and a life of purity. With his target identified early on, he has been able to hit the strikezone throughout his life." That's one way to spin it!

Comments

Pettitte actually never tested positive for steroids - but he did use human growth hormone to recover from an injury (for two days) in 2002 - almost three years before in was banned by MLB. So, he really didn't do anything wrong, technically.
