 It was the end of a storied career as Cece Sabathia threw his last pitch and walked off the mound at Yankee Stadium in game four of the ALCS. A few months have now passed and Cece is recovering from surgery. Recently he and his wife Amber reflected on the emotional ending to his career and they talked about what they are looking forward to as a family. Good chance this is his final appearance at Yankee Stadium whose announces retirement. I was thinking about maybe coming back you know what I'm saying like maybe trying to pitch out of the bullpen or something but like just to have that clear-cut sign like Nas is over like you know my arm went till it couldn't go anymore. They're gonna want to go check on possibly his knee or possibly something that didn't feel right. Maybe it's his shoulder. I knew it was over right and it was just for the like to hear that the fans the way they were applauding and like to give that appreciation it just felt good. It's too bad. Now just heartbreak and fixtures as Cece Sabathia walks off the mound and off the field in pain. Serious respect coming from the other side. But something just told me like that was it and when I saw his arm and I was like that's his shoulder he's done. You can tell the crowd was trying to give him one more adrenaline rush of a cheer to possibly that warm up pitch get through but he just couldn't do it. I was really crying because I knew it was over and I could hear the applause. I was one of the only times in 11 years I pitched to Yankee stadium that I could hear the fans and just so happened to be one of the last times I walked off. I hate to see this be the way he walks off with a diamond for the final time here. Yeah it was super emotional even I did an interview the other day MLB Network and I saw myself walking off and kind of got emotional again. I think when I got hurt it kind of like finalized it for me. We all knew it was like not only was like you know a higher power was telling us it's over but it was a good way to just end and close a chapter on his season on his career and then go on to the next thing. I'm at peace I'm good with it I'm ready to see what comes next like I'm ready to travel in the summertime and not be constricted to like three months in the winter you know so I'm excited to see what comes next for our family. It was a roller coaster ride but the best ride I've ever been on and I thank him for allowing us and the kids to be on that ride with him through his whole career ups and downs but it all made for what that legacy season was so worth it it was great. Strikeout number 3000 for C.C. Sebastian. Every milestone that he hit was so much emotion behind it the kids were able to be there every game and it was a great year a great season and a great way to end it.
