The Baseball Hall of Fame will add CC Sabathia to the list of honored players last year, but the Milwaukee Brewers are giving him their own honor, recognizing his contributions to the team by adding him to the Wall of Fame. Sabathia spent just half of a season in Milwaukee, but it was one of the greatest stretches in baseball history, according to the team via X, formerly Twitter.
Sabathia started 17 games in the second half of the 2008 season with the Brewers, owning a 1.65 ERA with seven complete games. The word dominant doesn't even begin to describe what the big lefty was able to do for Milwaukee on the way to a playoff berth. He was a fan favorite, despite playing just one season before joining the New York Yankees for the final 11 years of his career.

Sabathia knew he was going to cash-in at the end of his Milwaukee tenure, but he left it all out on the field from the city, according to his message to the team via X, formerly Twitter.
Didn't matter that it was a contract year. All I cared about was the postseason and leaving it all on the field. I'll always cherish my chapter with the Brewers and now forever being a part of the wall of honor," Sabathia posted.
Brewers fans look back on that regular season fondly, but things didn't go as well during the postseason for the lefty. He allowed five earned runs, six hits, and four walks in 3.2 innings in a quick exit for the team. Sabathia would go on to win a championship the following season with the Yankees.
