WHY KINDNESS MAKES THE WORLD GO 'ROUND

Obviously we here at Bleeding Yankee Blue think that certain causes are important and should be brought to your attention. We try to do it whenever necessary and in return, we get to talk to some really interesting people. It's a neat gig.

Recently, we spoke with Yankee great Roy White about the
Runyon 5K Run to be held at Yankee Stadium on August 7th. This cause is to raise money for the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. You can read all about it in EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: ROY WHITE.

And, yesterday, we brought to your attention to High Socks for Hope, a Foundation started by David and Erin Robertson to raise money for the Tornado victims in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, David's hometown. We did what we thought was right, bring the cause to all of you, so, if you weren't aware, you would be aware now and maybe you'd send them a check and help the people in need. All we wanted to do was to be an outlet for the Robertson's. Thankfully, you all responded by reading and retweeting and discussing on Twitter and Facebook and I was overjoyed to hear from Da
vid via twitter that same day our post, EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: HIGH SOCKS FOR HOPE was released:



But, that wasn't the only thing that made me smile. Erin, David's wife sent the sweetest note in response to a piece I posted titled WHY ROBERTSON'S AN INSPIRATION. In it, I speak of my son's new hero, David Robertson. Erin's note read:

"We love your blog and think it's great that your son is so passionate about baseball. Hopefully when he is drafted in about 10 years David is still pitching for the Yankees :)"

To me, that was not only kind, it was heartfelt and I will cherish both messages for a long time. Thanks guys.

We here at Bleeding Yankee Blue just want to have alittle fun, give some statistics and give our opinion. We also want to help if we can, any way we can. Hopefully, you guys see that and will continue to enjoy us....we sure are enjoying all of you.
