Pitcher Sabathia Helps Feed Needy Vallejo Families
VALLEJO (CBS 5 / KCBS) ― Newly crowned World Series Champ and Vallejo native CC Sabathia was back home Monday delivering something more important than a shutout.
In the basement of the First Baptist Church in downtown Vallejo, hundreds of people passed through, eating a meal first, then, picking up a Thanksgiving dinner bag personally delivered by the New York Yankees pitcher.
Sabathia seemed humbled by the experience.
“It feels good. Like I said, I’ve grown up here my whole life and I’ll always come back here,” Sabathia said. “I have a lot of family here, a lot of friends here so it feels good to come back and help do what I can.”
Safeway and Sabathia’s “PitCCh in” Foundation donated the dinner bags to the needy families. The foundation helps inner city youth and their families.
