“CC’s main concern was our clubhouse, and how people got along,” Yanks general manager Brian Cashman told The Athletic’s MLB insider Ian O’Connor back in 2009. “We had a reputation for not being together. We had a reputation for fighting each other, and that was a big concern there.”

On the day of Sabathia's Hall fo Fame induction, it's worth remembering the most valuable personality on Yankees' 2009 championship team.

New York Yankees icon CC Sabathia discussed the car troubles that delayed his journey to Cooperstown, New York for his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Sabathia is part of a troupe of three wearing some New York ties that is set to be inducted Sunday at Clark Sports Center. His former teammate with the Yankees, Ichiro Suzuki, and former Mets closer Billy Wagner will join him. And they will be going in with a couple of late greats, Dave Parker and Dick Allen.

While younger fans might remember him best from his days with the New York Yankees, CC Sabathia’s road to the Baseball Hall of Fame started with Cleveland. That’s why he wanted to make sure no one forgot about that.

Seattle Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki achieved baseball immortality after being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. on Sunday.
