Pitching star CC Sabathia has taken his place in Cooperstown after being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

New York Yankees icon CC Sabathia discussed the car troubles that delayed his journey to Cooperstown, New York for his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

On the day of Sabathia's Hall fo Fame induction, it's worth remembering the most valuable personality on Yankees' 2009 championship team.

Sabathia told reporters earlier this month that he postponed knee replacement surgery until after the induction ceremony, not wanting to appear in front of the crowd with a noticeable limp. Instead, he’s rolling into Cooperstown the way fans have always known him: banged up and determined.

CC Sabathia might be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t get here without a wait. First, there was the family car trouble -- hilariously chronicled on social media -- that delayed Sabathia’s arrival to this village that serves as baseball’s mecca.

The Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 was officially inducted at Cooperstown, New York on Sunday. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner and the families of the late Dave Parker and Dick Allen gave speeches before they were honored with plaques commemorating their legendary baseball careers.
