OAKLAND, Calif. — Rickey’s World delivered some breaking news on Tuesday.
“He told me this was his last go-round, so he had a good one,” Rickey Henderson said of…CC Sabathia, who has repeatedly declared, announced, podcasted and tweeted, among other methods of communication, that 2019 will be his last season as an active player since re-signing with the Yankees last November.
Of course Rickey didn’t know of the development until Sabathia personally informed him at the Oakland Coliseum, before the A’s opened their season series against the Yankees with a 6-2 victory. It’s what makes Rickey Rickey.
