LeBron James hopes Yankees sign CC Sabathia (AP)

LeBron James is convinced CC Sabathia will end up in pinstripes. The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar and New York Yankees fan wants his favorite baseball team to land Sabathia, the top starting pitcher in this year's free-agent class. The Yankees have formulated a proposal to Sabathia that would exceed Johan Santana's $137.5 million, six-year contract with the New York Mets both in total and average.
