Game used Boston Strong
If you haven't seen the Boston Strong auctions, you might want too. Props to the MLB and Red Sox Organization for raising money, in a big big way.

Re: Game used Boston Strong
Its an amazing auction It's the only auction I don't mind items being way priced out of my budget because the money is going to such a great cause.

Re: Game used Boston Strong
Is any mlb doing a fund or auction for the Texas explosion victims and families. 14 people died and over 200 injured and many homes destroyed, yet the media doesn't care about them.

Re: Game used Boston Strong
Just read a article Boston fund is up to over 26 million, while Texas fund is under 1 million.

Re: Game used Boston Strong
Are you a trolling Yankee fan?
Boston was an intentional attack at a sporting event and maybe MLB considers that more of a direct connection to them and their fanbase than an accidental explosion at a fertilizer plant.
The Texas accident was horrible, but didn't have the same evil undertones and intentions as Boston. BTW: the reason the death toll wasn't higher in Boston was that the first responders were mostly trained medical staff from the race, comparing death tolls as the measurement for tragedy is shortsighted.

Re: Game used Boston Strong
Lets hope this money raised goes towards those who need it and not the pockets of the ones running it like most "charities". Lord knows the other "charity" most professional teams support (Susan G Kohmen) is a joke.

Re: Game used Boston Strong
Ridiculous post. It's not the media' s job to "care" or raise $. The Red Sox are auctioning the jerseys through mlb.com- their way of raising money to help the victims of a terrorist attack at a major sporting event in the heart of a city on a state holiday in which many of the spectators each year go to a red sox game then walk over to the finish line ( I can keep going on....). It has nothing to do with Texas or vise versa.

Re: Game used Boston Strong
Ridiculous post?? Lets see I 1. Asked a simple question whether mlb was doing a fund or auction. 2. Never did I say it was the "medias job to care or raise money. But whenever I turn the news on or listen to my morning talk show, they only discuss the boston bombing and nothing of the victims from Texas.
Yes the boston bombing was intentional, while the Texas was accident but bother were a tragedy and each had many victims that deserve help.
