After receiving the call from the National Baseball Hall of Fame, CC Sabathia sat down with Bob Costas to reflect on where it all began

That season, Sabathia led the American League in shutouts. And he led the National League in shutouts. No other pitcher in MLB history has done that, and it's likely none ever will again. Sabathia, at the peak of his powers, was a legend.

Sabathia is part of a troupe of three wearing some New York ties that is set to be inducted Sunday at Clark Sports Center. His former teammate with the Yankees, Ichiro Suzuki, and former Mets closer Billy Wagner will join him. And they will be going in with a couple of late greats, Dave Parker and Dick Allen.

In his first few years out of retirement, Sabathia dropped 40 pounds of fat and gained 20 pounds in muscle alone. At 6-7, he is still bigger than most people, but he is in much better shape than when he was 50 pounds overweight during his playing days.

The greatness of CC Sabathia is undeniable, and he accomplished things others simply weren’t built to do in baseball.
