2009 World Series champion and New York Yankee legend CC Sabathia joined our first ever episode of “The Loop” podcast and he brought the heat. In our chat with the former ace, who has become an avid golfer in retirement, Sabathia explained why golf is just like pitching and he reveals the one golf course that made him say “f— it” on the fifth hole. He also regaled us with tales from the American Century Championship, where he played alongside Charles Barkley and witnessed the “straight legend” that is former Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon. We also make picks for the FedEx Cup Playoffs and recap a wild win for Tom Kim at the Wyndham Championship.
Our first ever episode of “The Loop” podcast has arrived and it did not disappoint, featuring an all-time great chat with New York Yankee legend CC Sabathia. In retirement, the 2009 World Series champ has become an avid golfer, so much so that for the month of September he plans to just take lessons to dial in his game. We talked plenty of golf with Sabathia, plus a little baseball, before diving into the FedEx Cup Playoffs, which have become even more confusing to understand thanks to the mess that LIV has created. Plus, we recap 20-year-old Joohyung “Tom” Kim’s insane comeback victory at the Wyndham Championship, and make picks for the FedEx St. Jude Invitational.
