FIRST WORD
A Hall of Famer. He’s a Hall of Famer.”
Yankees manager Aaron Boone about pitcher CC Sabathia, who reached 3,000 strikeouts Tuesday, making him only the third left-hander to reach that milestone and the 17th pitcher in baseball history. Sabathia has 247 victories, one Cy Young Award, five top-five finishes, a World Series championship, six All-Star appearances and 3,490 innings pitched. Hall of Famers Steve Carlton and Randy Johnson are the other lefties.
