We have a Hall of Famer. CC Sabathia elected on his first chance on the ballot.The guardians Cleveland. This is a guy who was born in Vallejo, CA.But anybody you talk to says he grew up in in Cleveland.He he says that he grew up in Cleveland before moving on to the Brewers and ultimately to the Yankees.Probably a little disappointing that he says he wants to go in wearing a Yankees cap into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.But I don’t care. We’re claiming him.He sees our guy.You know, Cleveland drafted him.Cleveland developed him and put him on the Hall of Fame path.Just what are your reactions? You covered basically his whole career here in Cleveland to see Cece Sabathia become a first ballot Hall of Famer.1:01Yeah, really happy for CC. As you said, Joe saw him all the way from, you know, his first game till his last in in Cleveland.Just saw mature as a as a player, as a person.And he certainly, as people have said, you know, he might be one of the last of a of a breed, so to speak, a guy that you know.Pitches 200 innings a year that that wins 200.You know what? He’s finished his career with 251 wins. You know, there might be. They’re not.There might not be guys anymore.Guys like that, I mean I guess you know, you know there’s some, you know, Max Scherzer and you know.1:53Yeah. Justin Verlander.You know those those kind of guys, but you know after those guys are gone, I mean.Who’s gonna win 250 games in the big leagues anymore?What team is gonna let their starting pitchers hang around that long to get that many decisions?So you know Cece, you know answer the bill. He took the ball.And just, you know, really from, you know, the 19 or 20 year old kid when he made his big league debut, he just kept getting better and better and better.He was always willing to learn.He was always had his ears open.And you know, he and he never changed Joe.He’s a lot like Tomi in that regard, that those guys were the same guys that the first day they walked into the locker room to the last.2:42Yeah. And, you know, you make the point.He I think he was sort of built for this, you know, 6 foot six, 300 lbs. When he was, you know, mostly when he was pitching.This is a big guy you wrote in your your take about him getting into the Hall of Fame.About his size and his stature and his presence, and I think.That that translated even into the later part of his career when he was with the Yankees and and he was revered as a teammate and a guy.You know, every one of those, those guys in the clubhouse would stick up for and and he stuck up for them, you know, obviously getting into it with the Red Sox and the and the rays and, you know, back and forth battles.In that AL East.But this is a guy who, beyond just what he’s done on the playing field, obviously you know, he’s one of what now three, you know, African American pitchers elected to.The Hall of Fame.You know, outside of the ***** leagues, guys who are are are in there, this is, you know, pretty impressive what he’s done.He’s a a member of the Black Ace as you win 20 games in the the big leagues, you’re you’re in that sort of secret society club with with CC Saban, the now that’s there’s. There’s more to more than just baseball to him. His work with the.The boys and girls clubs obviously coming from you know, where he came from in his youth.And that playing a big role in his in his life. So all around, I think he checks all the boxes for being a a Hall of Famer, not just what he’s accomplished on the field, but you know, certainly just who he is as a person.4:29Yeah, Joe. And and you when you talked about his his size, his 6766300 pounds, you know, you just didn’t see pictures like that big. I mean still don’t you know with his his body, you know, he was almost like an offensive lineman a.Tight end and they really the the guard. The Indians really had to find a way to treat him a little bit differently.He wasn’t going to run as as much as as other starting pitchers just because he was so big.You know, and I think you put too much strain on the bod
