NEW YORK -- CC Sabathia didn't want to ask. Finally, when he worked out the courage to do it, the answer was yes, and it couldn't have gone better.
Sabathia's PitcchIn Foundation raised $1 million, according to a spokesperson, with a celebrity softball game at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night.
"This is something that I wanted to do for a long time, just didn't work up the nerve to ask the Yankees to use the stadium," Sabathia said.
