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. Here's the list of each start Sabathia made as he carried the Brewers to their first postseason berth in 26 years.

It's not hard to contextualize how great CC Sabathia's run with the Brewers was in 2008, but let's ponder some mind-blowing numbers, shall we?

Hall of Famer CC Sabathia. That's how he would like you to refer to him now. Tuesday night, Sabathia was announced as baseball's newest Hall of Famer, joining Ichiro Suzuki and Billy Wagner in the 2025 class.

Surrounded at his Alpine NJ home by family and friends, CC Sabathia hopes his legacy as a teammate lives on with Baseball Hall of Fame election.

These three players, along with Dave Parker and Dick Allen, who were chosen by the most recent Era Committee, will be inducted in Cooperstown this coming summer. The necessary first step, though, is clearing that 75% threshold for election and then getting the official call from the Hall.

CC Sabathia is a first-ballot Hall of Famer with historic numbers, but he almost cut the end of his Yankees career short.

CC Sabathia: "I get no love in my own house. (Carter) loves Elly De La Cruz. So it's all these other guys that he loves to watch besides his dad."

With Sabathia now having a forever home in Cooperstown, Steinbrenner should make sure the Bronx also remains the ace's home for eternity.

The trio of stars, each of whom spent part of their career in New York, will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 27.

ICHIRO SUZUKI, CC SABATHIA AND BILLY WAGNER The wait is over. For two of the three newest members, it was the shortest wait possible. For the third, the longest. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner are officially Hall of Fame-bound,

While Sabathia was a runaway choice in the Hall of Fame election, selected on 86.8% of the ballots by the Baseball Writers' Association of America – joining peers Ichiro Suzuki and Billy Wagner – this ultimate honor meant much, much more than just a museum plaque in Cooperstown, N.Y.
