Milwaukee Brewers Honor CC Sabathia and Dave Parker with Wall of Honor induction

On Friday, May 8, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers honored two baseball legends inducting CC Sabathia and Dave Parker into the team’s Wall of Honor at American Family Field. Their contributions to the franchise were recognized on-field with a pre-game video and ceremonial first pitches by Sabathia and Parker family members ahead of the Brewers’ matchup against the New York Yankees.

Sabathia was acquired by Milwaukee from Cleveland on July 7, 2008, in one of the most impactful trades in franchise history, in exchange for four players.

He went 11-2 with a 1.65 ERA in 17 starts with the Brewers that season, producing seven complete games and three shutouts. The trade helped the Brewers end a 26-year playoff drought and is considered one of the greatest in-season trades in Major League Baseball history.
Parker signed with the Brewers as a free agent in December 1989 and made an immediate impact during his lone season with the club in 1990. That year, Parker was the team’s lone All-Star, a Silver Slugger Award winner and was named MLB’s Designated Hitter of the Year.
Parker passed away in 2025 after a battle with Parkinson’s disease. His son, David Parker II, represented him at the ceremony.
Both Sabathia and Parker were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2025.
