Fans gearing up for the 2008 All-Star Game in Yankee Stadium (the last to be held in the historic park) can help out those other boys in blue by picking up a commemorative T-shirt this week.
The T-shirts, which read “Heroes Made Legends Remembered,” will be sold at Modell’s Sporting Goods stores for $19.99, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the FDNY Foundation and the New York City Police Foundation.
Yanks’ pitcher Joba Chamberlain will be spreading the word at a press conference at the Modell’s store in Times Square at noon tomorrow.
The 79th Midsummer Classic will be played on July 15, but baseball junkies can vote online at MLB.com for their all-star picks until July 2.
