Charitable Pitcher
Jeff Kallman details Jamie Moyer's work bringing joy to bereaved children:
The Moyers decided, wisely enough, that bereaved children should not have to remain as isolated in grief among their peers as occurred for too many generations. But they also did something about it. Already the creators of a foundation aimed at helping children in any kind of distress, the Moyers, parents of their own six children, opened Camp Erin, in Washington State, in 2002.
There came three camps in Washington state and one each in Idaho, Arizona, and Philadelphia, for whose Phillies Moyer now pitches. And Monday afternoon Moyer delivered an irresistible pitch: five years after the first Camp Erin opened, the work's beginning on expanding it to every city hosting a major league baseball team.
What a wonderful project! You can visit Moyer's web site for the project here.

It is good to know there are baseball players like Jamie Moyer who are willing to share their money and time on the less fortunate.
Digger Phelps (basketball) has to be proud of his son-in-law.
