MLB and the PA will donate 1M to relief efforts. The Yankees will also donate another million and whatever money they make on Opening Day to tsunami relief.

 

-ESPNEWS very classy move by all parties

Should I add Bush came out and said whoever donates gets tax breaks? Oh just helping out those big, rich businesses you know.

You would think the Yankees could donate some of their bunch of money!

MLB should donate the Rockies.

The NBA should throw in the Clippers and the NFL could toss in the Cards and the NHL might as well ship everyone over there.

 

Hey at least the people would have something to escape from reality with.

Very classy indeed.

Yankees are charitable..... don't be surprised

yea, they are they helped some soldier out with some charity not too long ago

good to see baseball doing this..

Hideki Matsui gave the equivalent of $481,000 of his own money to the relief effort :thumbup

i gave 20 of my own dollars

 

that's not quite one million

 

good thing to do, even if it only is for a tax break

i thought the yankees wouldnt have had the "heart" to donate money all because of their selfishness so im not surprised about the money but about the fact that they actually "gave out" their precious money to people who need it more than they ever will

This man can do no right in you people's eyes.

 

Suppose he didn't say that. I bet you'd be pissed about that.

I never said it was a bad thing, just letting people know that there is incentive for those who can afford it to donate.

 

Imagine, letting people know all the facts of what is going on. :mischief2

The Giants are also auctioning off a chance to meet Barry Bonds for a day. The proceeds will go to tsunami relief.

Seeing as the Yankees and George Steinbrenner are one of the most charitable groups, Id say this is pretty assanine.

 

Whether you like the Yankees or not in the baseball world, dont question their heart. It makes you look dumb.

Donations to charity in general are tax deductible, regardless of how much you offer.

I completely agree. I think it is amazing that the Yankees are doing this. How many other teams do we see donating money. The Red Sox could easily do it too.......
