Giants Contribute To Help Out Haiti

With the unfortunate news of the tragedy that has struck Haiti, the San Francisco Giants and MLB are doing their part to help out those in need. After an earthquake that had a magnitude of 7.0 on the rector scale, some 3 million people have been effected, with an estimated death toll of 70,000. & With many celebrities, athletes and sports teams doing their part to help rebuild what's left of Haiti, you can help contribute as well. Something interesting that the Giants are doing to help raise money for the disaster that struck outside Port-au-Prince just a week ago, is auctioning off a variety of different fan friendly activities that are just as fun as they are helpful.

For a starting bid of $1,500 you can help do your part with all proceeds going to the Haitian Relief foundation, and have a good time while doing it. The Giants have set up three different auctions, each with a different story to tell. The listings include: the chance to take 10 pitches off any Giants starting pitcher, a private hitting instruction session with the Kung-Fu Panda himself - Pablo Sandoval and batting coach Hensley Mulens, and last but not least, a private meeting with two-time Cy Young Award winner - Tim Lincecum. There's no doubt these once in a life time opportunities will be stories that you'll be telling your grandchildren for generations. Not to mention it's the perfect chance to actually take a few swings off of a pitcher, for those who have claimed they could hit off a big league hurler if given the chance.

I love the idea the Giants organization has come up with to help the devastation and believe me, if I had the money, I'd put up a few bids myself! Who knows, maybe the lucky fan that wins the private meeting with Tim Lincecum will get the chance to smoke a bowel with him, after his recent run in with the law in which he received a ticket for marijuana possession and drug paraphernalia. I'm just kidding, but all seriousness and joking aside, I suggest all fans of the Giants and or baseball look into this once in a lifetime opportunity.
