May the best ex-Yankees win

I'm torn about who to root for in this year's World Series. Ex-Yankees abound on both-sides of the field, headlined by Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens for the Astros and Jose Contreras and Orlando Hernandez for the White Sox. Plus the teams have rooting interests independent of pinstripe alums, as Houston goes for its first ever championship (on the heals of Kat-Rita relief) and Chicago looks to reverse 88 years of futility. All else being equal, I'm going to have to pull for my boy Pettite, a Yankee through-and-through, developed as a youth on the farm and empowered in the Bronx to achieve postseason greatness. It's time for the Astros to blastoff.
