The Sabathia Family.
CC Sabathia
CC Sabathia is a pitcher for the New York Yankees. Sabathia played the first seven-and-a-half seasons of his career with the Cleveland Indians, where he won the 2007 Cy Young Award. He played the second half of the 2008 MLB season with the Milwaukee Brewers, leading them to the Wild Card, their first playoff appearance in 26 years. In the following offseason, Sabathia left via free agency and signed with the New York Yankees, where he helped lead them to the 2009 World Series title. Sabathia is regarded as one of the most durable pitchers in MLB, having amassed an average of over 200 innings pitched per season during his career.
CC Sabathia stops by the Life of Dad studio to talk about what popped into his mind when he found out he was going to be a dad.

The Ross Family
David Ross
In 2016 the Cubs snapped a 108-year curse, winning the World Series in a history-making, seven-game series against the Cleveland Indians. Of the many storylines to Chicago’s fairytale season, one stood out: the late-career renaissance of David Ross, the 39-year-old catcher who had played back-up for 13 of his 15 pro seasons.
Beyond Ross’s remarkably strong play, he became the ultimate positive force in the Cubs locker room, mentoring and motivating his fellow players, some of them nearly twenty years his junior. Thanks to Cubs Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, “Grandpa Rossy” became a social media sensation. No one, however, could have predicted that Ross’s home run in his final career at bat would help seal the Cubs championship.
I got to chat with David about fatherhood. David and his wife have three children and live in Florida.

Kevin Millar
Kevin Millar had many outstanding moments in his Major League Baseball career. The 2004 season has to rank really high up for him. That year he and the rest of the Boston Red Sox did the unbelievable by beating a 0-3 series deficit against the New York Yankees in the ALCS to move on in the playoffs and eventually win the World Series.
Now retired from the game he loves, Kevin is the co-host of the phenomenal show Intentional Talk with Chris Rose on the MLB Network.
Kevin is also a proud father of four. He and his lovely wife Jeane raise their kids with love and discipline. I had the great pleasure of talking with Kevin about fatherhood.
