Hear me roar (New York Times)

On this day 4 years ago the Yankees made one of their most important transactions ever, signing CC Sabathia for a then-record 7-year, $161 million contract.  During his 4-year tenure in New York, Sabathia has compiled a record of 74-29, including two 19-win seasons and and a 21-win season in 2010, with 821 strikeouts.  He has been at his best in the biggest situations, going 7-2 in the postseason, including two crucial wins in this years’ ALDS vs. Baltimore.
