The complete story of how the Brewers landed big left-hander CC Sabathia in July 2008, setting the stage for a once-in-a-generation run.

COOPERSTOWN, NY (WSAU) — One of the most durable left-handed pitchers of the early 2000s has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. CC Sabathia, who went 11-2 with Milwaukee in 2008, will be inducted as part of the Class of 2025 this summer.

Sabathia, the 19-year Major League Baseball veteran who for three months in 2008 carried the Milwaukee Brewers to the playoffs for the first time in 26 years on his left shoulder, was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame with a vote of 86.6% Tuesday night on his first time on the ballot.
