Today, in great moments in getting ahead of ourselves: CC Sabathia told George King he is “pretty sure” he will retire if the Yankees win the World Series this year. “I want one more parade and pretty sure that will be it. I thought I had it last year … That’s what you play for. But you got to get it first,” he said.
Sabathia will turn 38 in July and he’s accomplished pretty much everything a pitcher could set out to accomplish. He’s won a Cy Young and he’s been the ace of a World Series champion, and his 239 wins and 2,869 strikeouts put 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts within reach.
