CC Sabathia, once a key player for the Milwaukee Brewers, witnessed his former team secure their first-ever World Series championship victory. After the Brewers' 4-1 triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 on Wednesday, Sabathia celebrated the milestone on social media, lauding the team's historic accomplishment. Despite his brief tenure with Milwaukee, spanning just the 2008 season, Sabathia's impact on the franchise remains significant.
Drafted by the Brewers in 2006, he delivered a stellar regular season, finishing with a 1.65 ERA over 130 innings and securing the team's spot in the National League playoffs. However, Sabathia's playoff performance fell short against the Philadelphia Phillies, who went on to win the series. In his only playoff appearance with Milwaukee, Sabathia surrendered five earned runs in just 3.2 innings, contributing to the Brewers' 5-2 defeat.
Following his departure from Milwaukee, Sabathia signed a seven-year, $161 million contract with the New York Yankees in free agency. It was with the Yankees that Sabathia captured his only World Series championship in 2009. As the Brewers' Wall of Honor recognizes his contributions, CC Sabathia finally stood alongside the team in 2026 to witness Milwaukee's historic World Series triumph.
