We may never know what exactly prompted CC Sabathia to check himself into rehab for alcoholism on the eve of the playoffs. The New York Yankees’ left-hander had been pitching his best baseball in three years during the month of September. For Sabathia, however, something flipped a switch in his personal battle with a disease that afflicts millions of Americans every day. Timing doesn’t matter. The playoffs don’t matter. CC Sabathia needs to take care of himself in order to be a healthy father figure and good example to his family.
