ORLANDO, Fla. — Rory McIlroy is one of the biggest hitters on the PGA Tour.
But the 5-foot-9 Irishman was eclipsed by former Cy Young Award-winning pitcher CC Sabathia during the Pro-Am for the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
“He’s a big man,” McIlroy marveled. “I wasn’t into baseball that much growing up, but I know that he was a legend of the game and obviously played for arguably the biggest team in baseball ... pretty cool.”
