There Will Never Be Another CC Sabathia

Over 250 wins, over 3,000 strikeouts, a career WAR over 60, a World Series Champion, a Cy Young Award winner, and in my opinion, a future Hall of Famer!

[@jalenking810]

I’ll never forget how he put the city of milwaukee in his back and carried us to our first playoff appearance in almost 30 years. I was 9 years old at the time and I remember crying my eyes out with joy when we beat the cubs and made the playoffs on the final day. It was absolute magic, best memory of my young life

CC is a local legend in Vallejo. Still gives back to the community, and is a standup guy. Man deserved this career, and he’s such a good person.

[@SamJones-cz3ds]

As a brewers fan, cc will always be royalty to me. Dude came in and dragged a team that was almost ready into the playoffs and it kickstarted a drastically better decade than the last for the crew 💪🏻

[@chriskeck3689]

Faced him in a national tourney when we were both 17. He was so amazingly dominate, I truly questioned if I i had any business calling myself a pitcher even though I was already signed to Gardner Webb U on a very nice baseball scholarship. Was relieved to find out not long after that we had faced a future legend of the game. Btw, his stat line that game 5 IP, 13 Ks, 1 H, 0 BB. We lost 19-0. Bravo to Tyler Sime for getting the lone hit off him, as a left hand hitter

[@jamesesterline]

19-0?! Jesus Christ, what the hell were the opposing batters on?

[@homerj.simpson7562]

I'm from across the pond, so I'm not too familiar with all of the places. Had to pause the video to listen to the Cleveland song and boy, was I in for a treat. Since I only got into actually watching the games a few years back, this kind of videos helps me a lot to learn about the game and some of the legends who played it. Now I hope to get to look at both of Cleveland's buildings one day. Thank you for your hard work!

@@homerj.simpson7562 You're welcome to visit America any time, friend. But please let me caution you....I took a business trip to Cleveland in 2006. It was an international conference of engineers, analysts, etc. I couldn't walk 2 blocks without being confronted with bums and beggars - that's Cleveland. Any American city with Democrat mayors, to be honest. One observation about the beggars - not ONE of them was Hispanic. Draw your own inferences. Wishing you well, hoping you heed my caution. I personally think you'd enjoy Boston much more- safer and deeply Irish if you have any such roots.

[@EpicGamer14_]

My favorite thing about CC is how great of a teammate he was. There was a game in 2018 against the rays. One of the rays pitchers threw at catcher Austin Romines head and hit him. CC despite being 2 innings shy of a bonus in his final start of the season retaliated by throwing at the rays Jesus Sucre, getting himself ejected. That will forever stick my head. He could’ve made himself something like an extra half a million dollars but he wanted to stick up for his teammates. I absolutely love that and have the utmost respect for CC

[@BKF0]

I really appreciate your use of a Bob Wickman clip as you mention that his team was full of "fun dudes doing cool stuff." When I think of fun dudes doing cool stuff, Bob Wickman is always one of the first people into my mind.

My earliest memory of the guy was in 2003 when Bernie Williams made his return from the DL. I remember he even walked a batter with a bases loaded.

[@cameronlee4530]

Went to game 1 of this year’s alds between the yankees and Cleveland. CC threw the first pitch and the roar of the crowd when announced he was coming out rivaled Judge and Nestor’s. Always a class act and will always be beloved by the baseball community

My memory of CC Sabathia that stands out upon first seeing him play on TV as a Yankee fan at the previously named Jacobs Field was he was of course 20-21 years old at the time yet the guy who took over for him was Paul Shuey if I'm right. CC turned out to be fine with us for sure, yet in that 2001 weekend game against CC and his Cleveland Indians, Shuey's first 9 pitches were all balls!!!

I feel like it’s casual baseball fans that don’t remember him well. I remember him being a beast in Cleveland and Milwaukee before he became a Yankee.

[@michaelhuebner6843]

I live in Milwaukee. The 2008 team was the best shot the Brewers had at winning a World Series. They had a young prime Ryan Bruan and Prince Fielder with pitchers Ben Sheets and Giavanni Gallardo. When the Brewers got Sabathia, it seemed that was the right player needed to push the Brewers into the postseason and CC was amazing the rest of the season. Sadly the Brewers closer was injury prone so Sabathia pitched most innings in the games he played and yes he was worn down by the postseason. Seeing CC leave and a couple years late Prince Fielder was very sad.

I still respect the hell out of him for nearly pitching his arm off in a contract year to will Milwaukee to the playoffs.

He led BOTH leagues in shutouts in 2008. He threw a no hitter against the Pirates on 8/31, a game that I attended, however the terrible official scorer decided the first hit of the game for the Pirates should be on a comebacker to the pitcher which CC bobbled and dropped. Another interesting tidbit, in an insane decision, Mark Teixeira was rated as the #1 free agent in the 2008 offseason with CC rated #2....right after CC just carried a team into the playoffs by himself...and the compensation pick the Angels got for losing Tex they drafted Mike Trout with. We'll never know, but Brewers GM Doug Melvin did claim the Brewers would have taken Trout with that pick.
