Rays help Haiti

Brandon, Florida - Baseball after baseball, jersey after jersey, bat after bat. Carlos Pena signed and signed and signed.
Afterall, if he could help generate donations for the Red Cross for those in his neighboring country of Haiti, he'd do whatever he could.
Pena was just getting ready for spring training, working out in his native Dominican Republic when the earthquake hit Haiti. He was on the 4th floor of the gym and felt the tremors and the building sway. It lasted less than a minute. But it was a minute he will never forget.
Now Pena is back in the U.S., trying to help generate donations and giving his own. In addition to signing autographs at Brandon Town Center Tuesday, he has opened his own wallet, donating $15,000 of the Rays Foundation $50,000 gift to disaster relief. While still in the Dominican Republic, Pena and his wife Pamela donated supplies to herd across the border.
The Rays will also donate proceeds from their annual Fanfest on Feb. 20th at Tropicana Field. All of the professional players in this great country of ours should open up their wallet too. I believe that I just read where a well known relief pitcher, ( 9 million / one year ) just signed. Come on pro guys give some of the green. Tax deductagle to boot
