New York Yankees Pitcher CC Sabathia Autograph Appearance for PitcchIn Foundation

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia made an autograph appearance in his native Vallejo, CA on Monday 12/20/2010. CC has partnered with Toyota of Vallejo to support his "Pitcch In" Foundation. Over 500 fans showed up to donate toys to the Marine Corps Toys For Tots program, for which they would receive an autographed item by Sabathia. The first 100 fans in line received an autographed baseball and the rest of the fans received an autographed 8"x10" action photo.

My buddy and I arrived at the event about four hours early and set up our camping chairs in the dealership's showroom with the rest of the fans. There were roughly 70 people ahead of us at that point, so we knew we were guaranteed a ball. Well worth it.
