TAMPA, Fla. – The chemistry changed immediately when CC Sabathia first walked into the Yankees’ clubhouse in 2009.

CC Sabathia's No. 52 will be retired on Sept. 26 by the New York Yankees, who will dedicate a plaque in honor of the Hall of Famer at Monument Park before that day's game against the Baltimore Orioles...

Sabathia was a six-time All-Star who won the 2007 American League Cy Young Award with Cleveland and a World Series title in 2009, his first season with the Yankees after signing as a free agent.
