CC Sabathia is in the Hall of Fame, now retire his number

Former New York Yankees ace CC Sabathia was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday, and on the first ballot.

The big lefty turned in a career for the ages, finishing with 251 career wins, 3.74 ERA, and 3,093 strikeouts in a career that began in Cleveland with a pitstop in Milwaukee before he signed with New York as a free agent. Sabathia won his only Cy Young in Cleveland in 2007, but his lone World Series with the Yankees in 2009. His lone 20-plus win season? That would be 2010, when he led MLB with 21.
