WJW-TV Cleveland on MSNPitching star CC Sabathia reflects on biggest regret in ClevelandPitching star CC Sabathia has taken his place in Cooperstown after being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
On the day of Sabathia's Hall fo Fame induction, it's worth remembering the most valuable personality on Yankees' 2009 championship team.
New York Yankees icon CC Sabathia discussed the car troubles that delayed his journey to Cooperstown, New York for his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Sabathia is part of a troupe of three wearing some New York ties that is set to be inducted Sunday at Clark Sports Center. His former teammate with the Yankees, Ichiro Suzuki, and former Mets closer Billy Wagner will join him. And they will be going in with a couple of late greats, Dave Parker and Dick Allen.
Sabathia told reporters earlier this month that he postponed knee replacement surgery until after the induction ceremony, not wanting to appear in front of the crowd with a noticeable limp. Instead, he’s rolling into Cooperstown the way fans have always known him: banged up and determined.
CC Sabathia might be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t get here without a wait. First, there was the family car trouble -- hilariously chronicled on social media -- that delayed Sabathia’s arrival to this village that serves as baseball’s mecca.
