Former Yankees pitcher Javier Vazquez has decided on retirement after 13 seasons. Vazquez was 165-160 in his career. Vazquez made his debut with the Montreal Expos in 1998 and was the opposing pitcher during David Cone's perfect game on July 18, 1999, which is one of the best games I have ever seen.
Vazquez spent two seasons in New York. In 2004, he allowed the loss that sparked the greatest comeback in baseball history as the Red Sox came back from a 3-0 defecit to advance to the World Series. Afterwards, he returned to New York in 2010 and was even worse, alternating from starter to reliever. In his Yankee career he was 24-20 over two seasons.
With his strong finish in 2011, he is making the right decision to leave on top after his spectacular September.
