MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers are proud to announce CC Sabathia and Dave Parker will join the Brewers Wall of Honor during the 2026 season on Friday, May 8. Their contributions to the Brewers will be recognized on-field with a video and ceremonial first pitches by Sabathia and Parker family members that evening when the Crew takes on the New York Yankees at 6:40 p.m.

The Brewers Wall of Honor is a distinction awarded to players, coaches and executives who meet a set of criteria based on service to the organization and career accomplishments. Sabathia and Parker will join the permanent exhibit with a bronze plaque affixed to the exterior of the ballpark commemorating their contributions to the franchise.

In one of the most impactful trades in franchise history, Sabathia was acquired by Milwaukee from Cleveland on July 7, 2008, in exchange for four players. He went 11-2 with 1.65 ERA in 17 starts with the Brewers that season, producing seven complete games and three shutouts. Sabathia finished fifth in 2008 National League Cy Young Award voting and sixth in National League Most Valuable Player voting. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2025.

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. He also claimed Brewers team MVP honors after batting .289 with 21 HR and 92 RBI across 157 games. As of 2026, his 21 HR are the second most by a designated hitter in a single season in franchise history. Parker was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2025.

Both Sabathia and Parker earned the recognition this year through their induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

The Brewers and Milwaukee Braves Walls of Honor are permanent displays outside of American Family Field on the north side of the ballpark adjacent to the left-field entrance. Honorees have a plaque with their photo accompanied by a synopsis of their career. See complete listing of Wall of Honor members.
