In one of the most incredible runs the franchise had ever seen, the Milwaukee Brewers lost only three of CC Sabathia's 17 regular-season starts after he was acquired in July 2008.

CC Sabathia loomed as an imposing figure on the mound throughout his 19-year career in the major leagues. Not just because of his physical size, but because of the way he could take over a game.

CC Sabathia adds another C to his name now, for Cooperstown, now that he becomes the latest great Yankee to become a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
