Two more former Milwaukee Brewers will forever be a part of baseball history.
CC Sabathia and Dave Parker were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025.
Though both of their stints in Milwaukee were short, both made an impact with the organization.
Sabathia made just 17 starts for the Brewers after he was acquired at the trade deadline in 2008. In those 17 starts, Sabathia pitched seven complete games and three shutouts. He recorded a 1.65 ERA and 128 strikeouts in 130.2 innings pitched with the Brewers.
Without Sabathia, who knows how much longer the Brewers’ playoff drought would’ve lasted? In 2008, the left-hander helped Milwaukee to its first postseason appearance since 1982. He also pitched a complete game the day the Brewers clinched the 2008 Wild Card.
