Hopey Changey Stuff

I like pointing out whenever the Yankees have their HOPE Week, as I did HERE, because it lets me pat myself on the back for pointing out the  generous good deeds of others without actually having to do anything myself. We call this "piggybacking" in the business.

Today this is going down:

The New York Yankees are proud to continue HOPE Week 2012 (Helping Others Persevere & Excel) on Tuesday by celebrating the charitable work performed by Jorge Munoz. Yankees players Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Hiroki Kuroda and Boone Logan will honor Jorge Munoz by surprising him in the kitchen of his home and helping him cook the daily meal he prepares for 140 people. Later that afternoon, Munoz and his family will be the Yankees’ special guests for their 7:05 p.m. game vs. Cleveland. They will watch batting practice from the field and be part of pregame on-field ceremonies. Shortly after the start of the game, Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman along with Yankees front office staff and former HOPE Week honorees will join Munoz in traveling back to Queens to assist in distributing food to the hungry at Munoz’s usual time and location (9:30 p.m. underneath the elevated subway tracks at Roosevelt Avenue and 73rd Street).

Well. I guess we should hope he doesn't see the post before the Yankees show up.

"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), "you wrote about Jorge Munoz three years ago, doesn't that make you an even more amazing person than anyone on the Yankees, and shouldn't you be rewarded with a huge sack of cash? "

Sigh. Of COURSE it fucking does!!!!
