 I remember a lot of conversations with Whitey just when he would come around it seemed like I'd always kind of was scuffle in a little bit and would talk to him about you know where I was and handling the situations I'm in and handling the pressure. And Whitey was just such a calming voice for me and just was always so encouraging to me. Just very you know great humility he always showed and you know didn't always like kind of pumped himself up and would tell me you know even though he probably didn't a whole lot but talk about how he struggled you know and then kind of just you know just continue to persevere through it and stuff like that. So Whitey was just was great for me to have as a young Yankee coming up and of course was just someone I looked to and wanted to be like him and wanted to chase him and of course as I continued to play with the Yankees and started getting close to him and some of the things that he had done our names were always mentioned together and what an honor it was just to know him and to be a friend of his and then just to admire him the way I did as I came up. That was one left-handed Yankees legend on another. Andy Pettit joining the Michael K show this afternoon to share memories of Whitey Ford upon his passing at the age of 91.
