Chicago Fanatics Message Board :: View topic - Upton, Hawkins,Wright,Hunter

Latroy Hawkins, BJ Upton, Wesley Wright , and Torii Hunter donated 5k apiece to the Jackie Robinson Little League team so their parents could travel to Williamsport to watch the team. It's too bad we don't have like a billionaire owner on the south side or maybe one of his multi millionaire players who could've stepped up to do it instead of relying on donations from 3 out of town players . Well done o those players who made it happen.

That $20K pays for another usher, rogue!!! How could the Cell ever survive with one less usher hassling fans?

It's too bad we don't have like a billionaire owner on the North side or maybe one of his well off players who could've stepped up to do it instead of relying on donations from 3 out of town players .

I'm wondering why Tom Ricketts didn't do it.

The billionaire owner is preparing to have a massive celebration or stroke today with the announcement of the new mlb commish.

Agreed. Maybe he did something else.

The Chicago Cubs paid Burston-Marsteller $50,000.00 to study the value of such a donation. It was a difficult decision but we decided against it. We wish the Jackie Roberson All-Stars the best of luck in all of their future endeavors.

He has. (and you can include Justin Upton in the group as well)

I think Paulie is putting an addition on the 8500 sq ft mansion so things are a little tight for him.

I cant imagine the Sox organization wasnt aware of this as they are hosting a watch party for the game at US cellular.....ergghh I mean The State of Illinois is paying for a watch party.

You DO realize the Sox ARE picking up part of the tab for the watch party....at Jackie Robinson Park, not the Cell? :wink:

BJ Upton should probably be a little tight with his money...make sure he has a good savings plan going on. He is on his last major league contract. Also, did anyone else read this: http://tomahawktake.com/2014/08/11/movi ... -analysis/

I am sure both teams will have these kids on the field soon after they are done, win or lose and if they win, I hope Mayor Rahm has a parade down Lasalle for them, that would be ultra cool.

You DO realize the Sox ARE picking up part of the tab for the watch party....at Jackie Robinson Park, not the Cell? So Sox pr staff was aware enough about this to co sponsor (couldn't pick up the entire tab huh) a watch party that'll cost them a couple thousand at most but not aware that many parents weren't going to be able to attend a once in a lifetime event that their children are involved in without donations? I'm sure the gate receipts from one home game would've almost covered it by itself. It's still pretty sad that the only local player or management to do anything is a scrub pitcher from the North side making 1.2 million this year.
