TAMPA, Fla. -- CC Sabathia stood in front of his corner locker, at 37 the elder statesman on a New York Yankees team that will have fewer 30-somethings than it has had in a long time.
As he took questions from the media, Ron Guidry -- Mr. Louisiana Lightning himself -- interrupted to ask Sabathia about having some jambalaya on Saturday or Sunday.
"Saturday," Sabathia answered.
"I feel like cooking," Guidry replied.
The former Cy Young winner and current pitching instructor walked away.
"That's not vegan, either," Sabathia joked.
The veteran left-hander is in the twilight of his career, entering his 18th season in the big leagues and 10th with the Yankees.
