TY HENSLEY & DROB STEP UP BIG FOR OKLAHOMA

Never selfish, Yankee Ty Hensley offered a special and important challenge to athletes everywhere... time to help out.  It's not a threat, it's an idea that could very well help Moore, Oklahoma, a neighborhood near Edmond where the Ty and Jake Hensley grew up.  His tweet today (HERE) was direct and public:

I like this kid. I like where his head's at and it all stems from a positive home. Kudos to Marci and Mike Hensley, you raised some great kids.

No doubt there will be athletes as well as average people giving what they can.  I know from seeing the way David and Erin Robertson jumped in right after they witnessed the destruction in David's hometown of Tuscaloosa a few years ago, they would immediately jump into helping with this tragedy.  They have. David announced this (HERE):

It's the mighty High Socks for Hope foundation! David also announced he'll give $100 per strikeout this season. Love it. Good people do good things and it's great to know that people like Ty, like the Robertsons, like Kevin Durant who just donated $1 million (Read HERE) have their hearts in the right place.  Let's help the cause too!

I tip my cap Ty, David, Erin... keep it up!
