In 1993, Andy Pettitte married Laura Dunn, the daughter of the pastor at Central Baptist Church in Deer Park. Laura Dunn's brother was married to Kelly Blair's sister. The tenuous family tie between the two men - the pitcher and the pusher - has proven a critical one. Family matters deeply to Pettitte. That's why the most painful passages in his Feb. 4 deposition before congressional attorneys come when he describes his beloved father, Tom Pettitte, whose serious health problems have included open-heart surgery. Already aware the Daily News was close to reporting his ailing father's involvement with a criminal drug transfer in 2004, the Yankee pitcher revealed to staff attorneys of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform how the elder Pettitte procured human growth hormone from a trainer at a gym and then shared it with his son.

pardon my ignorance, but what wrong is it that Kelly Blair has done that was 'critical' to Andy Pettitte's past and/or future performance? let's see -- his wife's brother's wife's brother is a 'pusher' [convicted of what?] and so Pettitte is doomed becasue his father tried to help him?

Big M: It's called sensationalism, sometimes referred to as "yellow journalism" more commonly practiced by "weekly newsmagazines" that also feature people who were kidnapped by aliens spaceships or gave birth to a two headed giraffe child. This is why you you don't get it, you are obviously use to reading "real stories".

The most pressing question - did Brian McNamee give Laura a poke in the rear ? She looks pretty chiseled !!!
