CC Sabathia is a New York Yankees legend. Tuesday night was just another chapter in his long and storied career in the MLB.
Sabathia recorded his 3000th strikeout against John Ryan Murphy of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second inning. The 38-year-old becomes just the 17th player in MLB history to achieve the feat.

In 11 seasons with the Yankees, Sabathia has racked up 1607 strikeouts and a 3.
