C.C. Sabathia
When he is not mowing down hitters as a member of the New York Yankees pitching staff, C.C. Sabathia is rooting on his Oakland Raiders. The problem for C.C. is he plays for the Yankees, who usually play well into the Fall, but you can bet he finds time to catch up on Derek Carr and company.
Sabathia recently went on his R2-C2 podcast that he does with radio personality Ryan Ruoco to talk about the Raiders move to Vegas, and how he is happy the team will finally have their own stadium.
CC Sabathia on the Raiders: "I'm excited that they're going to Vegas just bc they're the only team that still plays on a baseball field. That's not fair to us. As a Raider fan I want us to have our own stadium..I think if I lived there I'd be more pissed." https://t.co/Sz9hAwxOzt

From Vallejo, California, Sabathia was quite the football player himself in high school, earning a scholarship to UCLA. However, it appears he definitely made the right choice by sticking with baseball, as he has had a borderline Hall of Fame career.
