@ABC7NY Good for him. He's a brave man to do this, a lot of people are in denial he's aware that he needs help... #proud #prayers #NYY

CC Sabathia has just shown more honesty than players who try to make up lame excuses/apologies for getting caught using PEDs

Think it's tough staying away from baseball this time of year? It's not even an inch of the battle that CC Sabathia is up against. Good luck
