UPDATE: Sabathia secures meeting with Springsteen at Super Bowl

TAMPA BAY, FL—As recently reported by your humble correspondents at SSNN, Yankees ace and gigantic Bruce Springsteen fan CC Sabathia has been waiting in heightened anticipation for Springsteen’s halftime performance at the Super Bowl later tonight. Wishing to brighten up a few lives, SSNN—through our vast network of contacts and “acquaintances,” for lack of a better term—was able to arrange a meeting between the two professionals, a few hours before Springsteen is set to go on stage.

“Oh. My. Gawd. Ohmigodohmigodohmigod,” said Sabathia when pressed for comment. “I’M GOING TO FUCKING MEET BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN! THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE! Oh, I know I am so unworthy to stand in His presence, but Bruce Springsteen’s grace knows no bounds. OMG! What am I gonna wear?! There’s so much to do! They say the first impression is everything. I’ve got to get to Men’s Warehouse,” said the three-time all-star as he dashed off to find a new outfit.

Sabathia will be flying from his home in New York to Tampa on SSNN’s company plane, and has decided he’s just going to stay for an extra two weeks in anticipation of the start of the Yankees Spring Training.

“I’m hopeful that the Boss (not George Steinbrenner, the real boss, Bruce Springsteen) just decides to hang out with me for the next two weeks,” Sabathia said. “Go Go-Karting, go golfing, play some Wii Fit, the whole deal. It’s going to be awesome. Max Weinberg can stay and hang if he’d like as well.”

SSNN will provide details of the meeting as soon as they are available.

It’s going to be tough for this sport to sweep any nations, but it’s still pretty frickin’ cool!
