As a life long Met Fan who despises the dreaded Yankees I still feel great empathy to the difficult path that C C Sabathia has the courage to go through. For my human cap supersedes any loyalty to team and I can only imagine the pain that Mr. Sabathia had to go through to admit that he had this illness, especially during this time of the playoffs when the pressure can only be mounting. Addiction doesn’t take time off but must be battled on a daily basis and it takes a brave soul to be able to admit their weakness in front of the world. May his brave words/action in public light give others the motivation to get the treatment they need for their sickness so they and their families can see the best in them. Let us pray that G-D gives him the power to overcome this illness and that his talents will shine again shortly, except when he plays against the Mets.
