Here’s an imposing gamer from the legendary Yankees’ workhorse CC Sabathia, the Hall of Famer-in waiting who was one of the dominant pitchers of this millennium. The Yankees home pinstripe jersey has the six-button front, the iconic “NY” logo on the left chest and Sabathia’s No. 52 on the back in midnight-navy polytwill. Majestic Authentic labeling is adjacent to four flap tags noting “2011,” plus 3 inches extra sleeve, 2 inches extra body and Size 56. Holograms from Major League Baseball and Steiner attribute the jersey to Aug. 12, 2011, vs. Tampa Bay; the shirt shows light wear but hails from a period when Yankee stars would wear multiple jerseys in the course of a game. With 251 lifetime wins, more than 3,000 strikeouts, a Cy Young Award (2007) and six All-Star nods, it would seem ole CC need only await the passage of the required five-year waiting period for heading upstate to Cooperstown.
