New Hall of Famer makes the Cooperstown case for an overlooked Cubs standout

Ahead of next weekend's Hall of Fame ceremony in Cooperstown, 2025 inductee CC Sabathia weighed in on several topics, including a handful of players he believes should join him in the Hall before it's all said and done. Among the trio of names is a name familiar to Chicago Cubs fans, especially those who rooted for the team during its 2003 campaign.

Sabathia singled out Gary Sheffield, Andruw Jones and Kenny Lofton as Cooperstown-worthy. Lofton and Sheffield are at the mercy of the era committee, but Jones could join Sabathia as soon as next summer.
