I hope Barry Zito strikes out 400 batters this season,...
Strikeouts for Troops? is a national project of Oakland Athletics pitcher Barry Zito for the benefit of our war wounded troops being treated at Walter Reed Army Hospital, Bethesda Naval Hospital, and other military hospitals for injuries received during service in Iraq, Afghanistan and other assignments. During the 2005 Major League Baseball season, every time Barry Zito strikes out a batter, he will donate $100.00 to Strikeouts For Troops. He will also invite other major league pitchers to match his pledge.
Strikeouts For Troops provides funds for ?comforts of home? for U.S Troops and will assist in providing travel and lodging expenses for soldiers? families, so that they can visit and stay longer with their loved ones while being treated for their injuries. Additionally, Strikeouts For Troops will provide clothing (as many soldiers arrive with only the clothes on their back), meals, and entertainment to our wounded military. The Freedom Alliance, a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, will facilitate the delivery of resources to our wounded soldiers and families.
As of today, the Oakland pitcher has 15 strikeouts.
WTG, Barry!
