The New York Yankees have two new members of the Hall of Fame. One, Ichiro Suzuki, had a short stint with the team and will enter Cooperstown with another uniform. The other one, CC Sabathia, was a prominent figure in the Bronx from 2009 to 2019 and won his only World Series title in pinstripes.

CC Sabathia adds another C to his name now, for Cooperstown, now that he becomes the latest great Yankee to become a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

CC Sabathia will go into the Baseball Hall of Fame with a New York Yankees hat on his plaque. Sabathia learned of his election on Tuesday and soon after confirmed his intentions to go into Cooperstown this summer as a Yankee.

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

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.

After his election into the baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday, CC Sabathia said he wants a Yankees logo on the cap on his plaque in Cooperstown. “I love the other organizations,” Sabathia said. “But this is home. I found a home in the Bronx and I don't think I'll ever leave this city, so I think it’s only fitting.”

Suzuki came in first in terms of voting with 393, making history as the first Japanese-born player elected to the Hall of Fame. He was close to making history again as he was nearly unanimous– and he would have been in some pretty weighty company to share with Yankee legends Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter.

The five newcomers, including Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on July 27, 2025, in Cooperstown, New York.

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