Sabathia (52) prior to game one of the 2019 ALCS playoff baseball series against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Mandatory Credit: Erik Williams-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>CC Sabathia on Tuesday got the call that he had made the Baseball Hall of Fame. It did not take long for the former pitcher to make clear what team he wants to represent on his Hall of Fame plaque: the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>Sabathia gave an emphatic statement about why he wanted to represent the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is home, the Bronx. I found a home in the Bronx, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever leave this city. So I think it\u2019s only fitting,\u201d Sabathia said, via Bryan Hoch.<\/p>\n<p>One look at Sabathia\u2019s career stats will tell you the Yankees make the most logical sense for him to represent. He pitched 19 seasons in MLB and spent 11 of them with the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>Sabathia was drafted by Cleveland and spent his first 7.5 seasons with the Indians. He won a Cy Young Award with them and made three All-Star teams with the AL Central squad. But a greater amount of his statistics were achieved while with the Yankees, with whom he spent 11 seasons and won a World Series. And now the Bronx and the Yankees have become home for the California native.<\/p>\n<p>Sabathia said that his choice to have a Yankees hat wasn\u2019t really a tough decision.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/snyyankees\/status\/1881865657429401794?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1881865657429401794%7Ctwgr%5E0f5562552e63eeeb2a7286b102b15260c91b8913%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Flarrybrownsports.com%2Fbaseball%2Fcc-sabathia-yankees-hat-hall-of-fame-bust%2F645731<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oct 12, 2019; Houston, TX, USA; New York Yankees starting pitcher C.C.
