CC Sabathia, a longtime MLB pitcher who made the baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday, is making a movie about his hometown — Vallejo, Calif. Sabathia’s media platform “Grapefruit Media” announced the movie on Thursday.

The Vallejo-born left-hander was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot with 86.8% of the vote.

While Sabathia was a runaway choice in the Hall of Fame election, selected on 86.8% of the ballots by the Baseball Writers' Association of America – joining peers Ichiro Suzuki and Billy Wagner – this ultimate honor meant much, much more than just a museum plaque in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Paul Hoynes and Joe Noga break down the Hall of Fame voting as Ichiro, Sabathia and Billy Wagner get the call.

CC Sabathia is expected to be part of the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025, with the results of this year’s vote scheduled to be announced Tuesday evening.
