We got the announcement yesterday of number 52 going into Monument Park, a plaque for C.C. Sabathia.

And, you know, so I'm sure your reaction, I don't know what it was, but I know mine was,

my initial reaction was, yeah, that sounds about right.

But I was always left with thinking that that team could have and should have won more,

which is a really snarky thing to say because there are teams like the Mets that haven't won since 1986,

and there are other teams that have never won.

But just a great pitcher here.

And whenever I think of C.C. Sabathia, yes, 2009 with the World Series for sure,

I will always come back to that half a season after the trade deadline,

not even half a season when he was with Milwaukee,

pitching every three days to will that team into the postseason,

a gamer as good as they get, and just a big congratulations to C.C. Yeah, the guy was a piece for sure, you know, and he played 19 years in the major league or major leagues. And look, he's a Hall of Famer. Yep. You know, so Hall of Famers get plaques and get their numbers retired. And, you know, it's really great he's uh been a real i i think he's

been like one of their you know for his era of yankee yankee they they didn't win as much as

they probably should have in terms of championships but you know he was the guy that took the ball

every five days yeah wanted to be out there he's a work course he wanted to be out there it wasn't

perfect it didn't end the you know the the sweetest way it could have but um five days. Yeah, he was a workhorse. He wanted to be out there. It wasn't perfect.

It didn't end the sweetest way it could have. But yeah, I don't have any problem with it. And as a matter of fact, when I did see it, I was like, okay, it's about time. Absolutely. And, you know, we talk about 200 innings, like being the gold standard now. so i pulled up his numbers just because you know you figure he you're a numbers guy well no but i think sometimes

they're valid and you know in 2007 with cleveland 241 that 2008 year that i was talking about

yeah um 253 it's ridiculous i mean really just just a throwback to some level and then went in the World Series and

on the I'm with the Yankees.

And then, you know, you look at his numbers.

Those first five or six years were so damn good.
