Arizona Police, K-9 Escorted out of Yankees Clubhouse After Autograph Request

It's not every day someone has the chance to get an autograph from one of only 17 pitchers in Major League Baseball history to reach 3,000 strikeouts, and one sheriff deputy of a K-9 unit in Arizona was reportedly reprimanded for capitalizing on his chance.

According to Randy Miller of NJ.com, the sheriff approached New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia in the Bronx Bombers' visiting clubhouse at Chase Field on Wednesday morning after the southpaw recorded the 3,000th strikeout of his career during Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
