With CC Sabathia heading into Cooperstown, take a look back at the 2008 season finale that launched the Brewers into the playoffs.

After Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, attention turns to the ballot for 2026.

It now appears it's a question of when, not if, Carlos Beltrán will be voted into the Hall of Fame. In fact, next year could be his time, with the ballot wide open.

CC Sabathia, the American League Cy Young award winner in 2007, came over to the Brewers from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for prospects Matt LaPorta, Zach Jackson, Rob Bryson, and eventually, Michael Brantley.
