CC Sabathia was on the mound for Game 7 of the 2017 ALCS at Houston’s Minute Maid Park, and the retired Yankees hurler is beginning to wonder what could have been — or should have been — if not for the Astros’ sign-stealing program that has come to light more than two years later.
“As everything’s been coming out, and the more facts that we get, it’s getting frustrating, man, to sit here and know that late in my career I could’ve had a title, maybe ’17 or maybe ’18, but we got cheated out of a team kind of doing something that’s not within the rules of the game,” Sabathia said on Tuesday night’s episode of “Inside The NFL” on Showtime.
