ST. LOUIS CARDINALS: HITTING HOMERS FOR HURRICANE HARVEY

St. Louis Cardinal infielder, Matt Carpenter, declared Monday that he would donate $10,000 to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.  But...not so fast.  It wouldn't be a one-time $10,000.  That would be $10,000 per home run that he hits from now until the end of the season.

Pitcher Adam Wainwright joined Carpenter stating that he, too, would donate $10,000 per Carpenter's home run slugging ability.  Soon the Cardinal owner, Bill Dewitt, Jr. declared he would join the ranks at the same financial participation.

So it wasn't long until Cardinal Nation knew that anytime from now until the end of the season that Matt Carpenter would hit a home run, "$30,000 would be making its way toward recovery efforts in Texas.

In his very next game, which was last night....the slugger homered!  More games are to follow!

Thank you Matt Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, and Mr. Dewitt.  We are excited to see just how many more homers Matt can rack up!!
