Finding good news about major leaguers' off-the-field activities is sometimes difficult. Many players do humanitarian and charity work with their free time but unfortunately that's not the kind of stuff that makes headlines in the mainstream media. Here are a few news items about people giving the gift of baseball:
Aaron Harang of the Reds and Freddy Sanchez of the Pirates are making miracles happen. Both players donated about $50,000 of their own money to build a field for children with special needs in their regions. The field surfaces are made of a synthetic rubber material and are accessible to kids with wheelchairs, walkers, etc.
In minor league news, an anonymous donor in Toledo, Ohio has given away 4,000 Mud Hens tickets to needy families in the area.
