CC-ing the Entire Picture

In these tough economic times, the New York Yankees are heavy spenders.
Only the one being sought isn't quite sure he wants to be bought.
Prized free agent pitcher C.C. Sabathia has sat on the Bronx Bombers' 6-year, $140 million contract for two days.
What gives, you ask?
Sabathia isn't sure New York is the right fit. He's from Northern California and prefers the West Coast. He wants his wife to be happy and his two kids, ages five and three, to (eventually) get a good education in a welcoming environment. Moreover, Sabathia is determining if the stresses of the Big Apple are worth an extra year and a few million dollars.
Mundane thoughts to mull over for "Joe the Plumber" when a new job in a new city emerges, they're hardly ever (publicly) discussed in professional sports. The draw is typically the richest contract and that alone.
While Sabathia may yet choose New York to call home for six years, it's the thought that counts.
