En route to Cooperstown for his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Yankees legend CC Sabathia’s car broke down, leaving him and his family on the side of the road.
Sabathia posted a picture to X of him, his wife, Amber, and their children smiling alongside New York State Route 17 with the caption, “Car broke down on the way to Cooperstown. Anyone headed that way?”
Based on the picture, which shows road signs for Route 17 and Route 6 in the background, it appears that Sabathia was left stranded somewhat near the Palisades Parkway in upstate New York.
This all-too-relatable moment for the Sabathia family comes just days before the longtime Yankees lefty is set to receive his Hall of Fame honors.
Sabathia, 45, was elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA in January during his first appearance on the ballot, receiving 86.8 percent of the votes.
The six-time All-Star was voted in alongside former teammate Ichiro Suzuki and ex-Mets closer Billy Wagner, with the three of them being enshrined on Sunday.


“It means a lot to be in the Hall of Fame, period,” Sabathia told MLB.com upon his election. “But first-ballot, I know what that means as a baseball player. It’s very special.”
Sabathia also recently revealed how he had to make a health decision around his Hall of Fame induction, electing to have his knee replacement pushed back from May to the fall.
“I didn’t want to have a walker or a cane with me at the induction,’’ Sabathia told The Post earlier this month. “I never liked rehabbing when I played and I didn’t want anything to go wrong for this. I didn’t want to be going to Cooperstown like that.”
