Yankees’ Sabathia Says He’ll Lean On Teammates To Help Keep Him Sober

TAMPA, Fla. (CBSNewYork)CC Sabathia says he wasn’t exactly a social drinker, more of an antisocial drinker.

The Yankees pitcher, who checked himself into a rehab center just as the team was preparing for the postseason last year, told reporters Friday at George M. Steinbrenner Field that he did most of his heavy drinking alone in his hotel room during road trips.

“I felt like I needed to get some help and decided to do that, entered the rehab facility, and it was a good experience,” said Sabathia, who complete a 30-day stay at the facility.
