CC Sabathia has announced he will retire after the 2019 season, and his longtime teammate Robinson Cano presented the left-hander with an awesome farewell gift when the Yankees and Mets got together for their subway series earlier this week.
Roc Nation Sports, the agency that represents Cano, shared a photo and video on Twitter of Cano giving Sabathia a custom piece of artwork, which pays tribute to Sabathia’s 250 wins, 3,000 strikeouts, and his family.

Teams and players often give gifts to stars who are playing out their final seasons, but that painting is one of the more thoughtful ones we have seen.
