TILL THE END
Special memoir of the life of one of the most beloved baseball players of his generation, a raw, compelling story of baseball, family, fame, addiction, loss, and a champion's resilience.
CC Sabithia was the dominant pitcher of his era, perennial All-Star, winner of the Cy Young Award, and a World Series champion. CC was also one of the most beloved recent players for the New York Yankees, the marquee team in baseball in the game's biggest market. He was the last of the championship generation that included Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera.
CC is now a broadcaster, podcaster, and executive with the Yankees, and he has a solid social media presence with over half a million followers across platforms.
CC's story will of course appeal to baseball fans--he is brilliant in describing the technical elements of the game and pitching, he also has inside stories of a whole era where he played with some of the game's biggest and most controversial stars, from Derek Jeter to Alex Rodriguez.
But beyond baseball, this book is also a poignant examination of deeper themes through the lens of the athlete's life. Like Michael Lewis's THE BLIND SIDE and Andre Iguodala's THE SIXTH MAN, TILL THE END, transcends sport and explores themes of family and addiction, the exuberance of youth and the challenge of aging, and how we find meaning through the seasons of our lives.
CC Sabathia played nineteen seasons of Major League Baseball. He was a Rookie of the Year, Cy Young Award winner, World Series champion, and six-time All-Star. Twitter (476.4K Followers) Instagram (439k followers).
Co-author Chris Smith writes about politics, sports, and entertainment for Vanity Fair. He lives with his family in Brooklyn.
