NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – It certainly wasn’t the way fans wanted to see it end, but CC Sabathia coming off the field due to a shoulder injury on Thursday in game 4 of the ALCS was the pitcher’s last time playing professional baseball.
The 39-year-old veteran Yankees pitcher officially announced his retirement from baseball on Monday, reports CBS2’s Otis Livingston.
Maybe it was appropriate for the ultimate warrior giving everything he had for his team and fanbase as he ended his Major League career. He had been a leader with the Yankees ever since he came over in 2009 and helped lead them to a World Series title.
