"From the first number that hung in my locker to 52 forever hanging in Monument Park -- this HOF journey has come full circle. To have my number retired by the New York Yankees this year is one of the greatest honors of my life. The LegaCCy continues."
"Sabathia was a six-time All-Star who won the 2007 AL Cy Young Award with Cleveland and a World Series title in 2009, his first season with the Yankees after signing as a free agent. He went 251-161 with a 3.74 ERA and 3,093 strikeouts, third among left-handers behind Randy Johnson and Steve Carlton."
CC Sabathia's No. 52 will be retired by the New York Yankees on September 26 before a game against the Baltimore Orioles, with a plaque dedicated in Monument Park. Sabathia becomes the 24th Yankee to receive this honor and the first since Paul O'Neill in 2022. The Hall of Famer was a six-time All-Star who won the 2007 AL Cy Young Award with Cleveland and a World Series championship in 2009 with the Yankees. Over 19 seasons, Sabathia compiled 251 wins, 161 losses, a 3.74 ERA, and 3,093 strikeouts, ranking third among left-handed pitchers. He will join former teammates Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte with plaques in Monument Park.
