It was a beautiful Friday night in Cleveland as the Indians hosted the Angels for a three game series.
Former Tribe Cy Young pitcher CC Sabathia threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Sabathia was in town as the Cleveland Indians dedicated a youth baseball park in his name.
“To have a chance to have a field named after me, our legacy, to forever be here in Cleveland means so much to me,” Sabathia said at the field dedication at Luke Easter Park on Friday.
The Indians also announced a partnership with Sabathia’s PitCCh In Foundation and Get In The Game which works to increase racial justice in communities.
