Great idea from the Cardinals and Royals

[lakeerie92]

I got this info from BigLeagueBaseballs.com, the Cardinals and Royals are using special commemorative items to raise money for tornado victims in Joplin, MO. According to the different articles I read it is difficult to tell if the commemorative baseballs are going to be only ceremonial first pitch or also used in the game. I have read conflicting information. If anybody sees a game used ball with the logo I will gladly offer a reward/finders fee/trade on an authenticated one.

I'm watching that game on MLB.tv. Kind of wanted to see Berkman in a Cards uniform...but anyway, I think that's a great idea, and I'll let you know if I see anything.

In the event MLB.com auctions jerseys from this series, the Cardinals wore their home whites for all 3 games, while the Royals wore road greys...no alternate unies were used in the 3 games.

I believe this weekend, at one of the Royals games they are doing scratcher tickets to win the Royals jerseys.... Not sure how many jerseys they wore.

Joplin Jersey Hand-Off Fundraiser: Attend the Saturday, June 25 Royals-Cubs game for the opportunity to win one of the autographed "Teams Unite for Joplin" jerseys from a Royals player during the Joplin Jersey Hand-Off fundraiser that evening. Volunteers will sell $1 instant-win scratch tickets with all proceeds benefiting the American Red Cross and Royals Charities disaster relief efforts. Following the club's 6:10 p.m. game against the Chicago Cubs, winners will be escorted to the field where Royals players and coaches will award the jerseys they wore during the Royals-Cardinals series. Fans may also bid on the opportunity to guarantee a spot on the field. Please note that this auction item will close on Monday, June 20.
