Help FEED the players!! Please help!! Every Penny Counts!

Since September 11, 2001, Americans have come together as never before
in
our generation. We have banded together to overcome tremendous
adversity.

We have weathered direct attacks on our own soil, wars overseas,
corporate
scandal, layoffs, unemployment, stock price plunges, droughts, fires,
and a
myriad of economic and physical disasters both great and small. But
now, we
must come together once again to overcome our greatest challenge yet.

Hundreds of Major League Baseball players in our very own nation are
living
at, just below, or in most cases far above the seven-figure salary
level.
And as if that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of their
life-giving pay for several months, possibly longer, as a result of the

upcoming strike situation. But you can help!

For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the
cost of
a large screen projection TV) you can help a MLB player remain
economically
viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves
the
problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's a
start,
and every little bit will help!

Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a baseball
player
it could mean the difference between spending the strike golfing in
Florida
or on a Mediterranean cruise. For you, seven hundred dollars is nothing

more than a month's rent, half a mortgage payment, two unemployment
checks,
or
a month of medical insurance with COBRA, but to a baseball player, $700
will

partially replace his daily salary.

Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable a player to buy
that
home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new
Ferrari,
or enjoy a weekend in Rio.

HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?

Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the player
you
sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k), real
estate,
and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. Plus, upon
signing up for this program, you will receive an unsigned photo of the

player lounging during the strike on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean

(for a signed photo, please include an additional $150). Put the photo
on
your
refrigerator to remind you of other peoples' suffering.

HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING?

Your MLB player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just
wants to
help in a time of need. Although the player won't know your name, he
will
be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator in
case
additional funds are needed for unforeseen expenses.
