New York Yankees legend CC Sabathia honored as ‘Sportsman of the Year’ by March of Dimes

CC Sabathia was honored as the “Sportsman of the Year” by the March of Dimes organization on Tuesday. The New York Yankees legend was presented with the award by Kenny Albert and Gayle King.

March of Dimes is a non-profit that focuses its efforts on the health of newborn babies and mothers.

Every Yankees fan knows that Sabathia is the absolute definition of a gamer. He spent his entire baseball career leaving every ounce of sweat on the field. Sabathia did whatever it took to win every single time he laced up.

He even went so far as to risk his career pitching every chance he got for the 2008 Brewers.
