Thanks to the Hall of Fame pitcher, the moment was captured with a quick family selfie."Any time the six of us are traveling, probably something is going to happen," Sabathia told Fox News Digital with a laugh at Alpine Country Club in New Jersey on Tuesday. "Somebodys going to cancel a flight, were going to miss some luggage. So, we have a group chat and its called, Strong as a unit, and its as long as were all together, we can get through anything. Our car broke down on the way to Cooperstown. I took a picture, a snapshot of like how our family dynamic works. Me and the kids, playing around and having fun out of the most horrible situation, and Amber in the back on the phone cleaning things up.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Its just another story for us to tell, and we have plenty of them. But its always something going on."Sabathias summer has been one to remember after being voted into the Hall as a first-ballot inductee, being one of just three left-handed pitchers to total at least 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts over their careers. Hes also a member of the Black Aces, a group of African American and African Canadian pitchers who have won at least 20 games during a single MLB season.ICHIRO SUZUKI TAKES SWIPE AT LONE WRITER WHO KEPT HIM FROM UNANIMOUS HALL OF FAME ELECTIONThe accolades are abundant for Sabathia, and they are on display in Cooperstown for years to come. But this summer hasnt just been about personal accomplishments for Sabathia, and a prime example of that is this weeks events benefitting his "fifth child," as he and his wife put it.The PitCCh In Foundation, founded in 2008, helps underserved youth across the country as the Sabathia family gives back to those communities that impacted them along this journey to becoming a Hall of Fame pitcher. Thats the main reason Sabathia was at the golf course on Tuesday, as his foundation hosted its fifth annual Golf Classic the new sports passion for the big left-hander.And the day before, CC and Amber Sabathia hosted the LegaCCy Gala at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan to not only celebrate the pitchers career and Hall of Fame honors, but benefit the foundation as well. The gala, filled with stars like Derek Jeter and Gerrit Cole, raised more than $375,000, and after the Yankees $250,000 contribution during a ceremony at Sundays game in the Bronx, the foundation is ready to impact youth with more than half a million dollars and counting."Its been incredible to see, not only the way the Yankees continue to show up for us me, my wife and our family and the foundation," Sabathia explained. "But just the support we still get in retirement, and seeing the foundation still thriving five years into retirement. After you get done playing you dont know what its going to look like. I know thats something thats super passionate for me and my family."PitCCh In, and everything else in Sabathias life, has always been a family affair. So, this summer hasnt just been about him its been about those who have been by his side through it all.Sabathia may have "transitioned into being a golfer full time," but his impact on and off the baseball field will continue following his Hall of Fame induction. He has a role as an advisor in the MLB Commissioners Office as well as with the Yankees, the team he spent 11 of his 19 seasons with while winning a World Series title in 2009.But continuing to impact future generations of ballplayers, golfers and whoever else it may be, remains a constant in not just Sabathias life, but his entire family. After all, building a LegaCCy requires a strong support system.Strong as a unit."I think what you see now is what my whole careers been," Sabathia said of his family. "We had kids really young, me and Amber. I was 22 years old, and she was 21 years old. I played 19 years, so Little C saw my whole career. To have all the kids be able to celebrate now and understand what we went through all the moving around we did, all the flights, all the stuff, why we cant do this in the summertime, why we have to do this in the wintertime. All these different sacrifices that they made, they get to see the fruits of it."Ive been telling people this Hall of Fame thing this summer has been more about all the people around me than it is about me. In my speech, wanting to tell the story about the women that helped me in my hometown. Getting a chance to talk about my high school coach, my dad, everybody thats helped me get to this point, my family included. I think its fun to be able to celebrate with them and have them old enough to understand whats happening and what weve been through. The legacy they have to continue on with PitCCh In."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
