“#CC Sabathia nearly lost everything to alcohol<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

In November 2004, future Yankee great CC Sabathia, then pitching for the Cleveland Indians, arranged a proper wedding ceremony for him and his wife Amber. They\u2019d had a quick courthouse wedding a year earlier, but now they wanted an actual ceremony to celebrate with loved ones.<\/p>\n

Sabathia had suffered through a year of death, with his father, uncle, and cousin all passing away. Throughout this, he sought refuge as he had since the age of 14, in a bottle \u2014 or, many bottles, as was usually the case.<\/p>\n

His wedding night, sadly, was no exception.<\/p>\n

The weekend before, the couple each had their own bachelor and bachelorette parties over a Las Vegas weekend before combining the groups for a big Sunday dinner.<\/p>\n

When the waitress presented the bill at the end of the night, Amber signed it, which ignited a drunken rant from Sabathia, screaming, \u201cI can sign the damn bill!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom there, it turned into a huge fight. Nasty, mean things got said, as if the booze was some kind of truth serum, releasing all the anger and insecurity in me,\u201d writes the Yankee great in his new memoir, \u201cTill The End<\/a>,\u201d (Roc Lit 101, out July 6), which was written with Chris Smith.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuddenly I was yelling, \u2018I\u2019m not marrying you!\u2019 and Amber was yelling back, \u2018We\u2019ve been married for a year! You can\u2019t go back now!\u2019 I escalated it, of course: \u2018You\u2019re just with me for my money!\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Amber\u2019s friends were in tears, but Amber, more experienced in this behavior, knew it would simply lead to apologies the next day.<\/p>\n
