Former World Series winner CC Sabathia added another accolade to his illustrious resume after the former Cy Young winner was named a first-ballot Hall of Famer on Tuesday.

While Sabathia played for the Cleveland Guardians (2001-08) as well as the Milwaukee Brewers (2008), it would seem likely he will be inducted as a member of the Yankees, where he
