As CC Sabathia was being told a blocked artery in his heart needed a stent the Yankees’ left-hander wasn’t overcome with the fear that arrived later on Dec. 11.
“I guess I was scared, I didn’t know. I knew I was in a little bit of trouble but everything happened so fast,’’ Sabathia told The Post on Thursday, recalling the angioplasty procedure in which a stent was inserted. “Nothing hit me until I got on the table and in the ICU.’’
A month later Sabathia is participating in his normal January offseason throwing program in front of his final season of a splendid 19-year career in which he hopes to help the Yankees win a World Series.
