TAMPA - CC Sabathia first told his story about his battle with alcohol addiction back in November, the first of a handful of times the lefthander has publicly addressed his personal issues this winter.
Friday, the Yankees pitcher discussed those demons with the media for what he said will be the last time, part of Sabathia's plan to move forward and get the most he can out of his remaining years in the game.
Sabathia's mind is now focused on baseball as he kicks off his eighth spring training with the Yankees, one he has been looking forward to more than any since 2009.
