"Regarded as a clubhouse leader and exceptional teammate, Sabathia's goodwill and generosity was mirrored in his profound engagement with the community. In 2008, he and his wife, Amber, established the 'PitCCh In' Foundation, which remains committed to the care and needs of inner-city children, helping to raise their self-esteem through sports activity and education."
"During his 11 seasons as a Yankee, he ranks fourth in strikeouts, seventh in starts, 10th in wins and 11th in innings pitched in franchise history. Sabathia was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2025. He also played with Cleveland and Milwaukee."
CC Sabathia will be honored by the New York Yankees with a jersey retirement ceremony and Monument Park plaque dedication on September 26 before a game against the Baltimore Orioles. Sabathia, signed in December 2008, led the Yankees to a World Series championship in his first season and ranks among the franchise's all-time leaders in multiple statistical categories during his 11-year tenure. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2025. Beyond his on-field achievements, Sabathia demonstrated significant community impact through the PitCCh In Foundation, established with his wife Amber in 2008, which supports inner-city children through sports programs, education initiatives, scholarships, and various charitable activities.
