Sportsnaut on MSNSabathia Was Yankees Real Captain in 2009, Saved Locker Room From Jeter and A-Rod Drama I Report“CC’s main concern was our clubhouse, and how people got along,” Yanks general manager Brian Cashman told The Athletic’s MLB insider Ian O’Connor back in 2009. “We had a reputation for not being together. We had a reputation for fighting each other, and that was a big concern there.”
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.
On the day of Sabathia's Hall fo Fame induction, it's worth remembering the most valuable personality on Yankees' 2009 championship team.
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.
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.
