The Power of Ike
by Greg Prince on 25 September 2012 3:13 pm Think you like Ike now? At least as good a reason as his two homers and five RBIs last night to applaud Mr. Davis is the commitment he’s made to support Solving Kids’ Cancer and the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative with his annual fundraising events. The most recent of them took place a couple of weeks ago in Manhattan, and Sam Maxwell covered it in depth via picture and word at Converted Mets Fan. Sam really gets to the soul of what a baseball player (and his teammates) can do via celebrity to help worthwhile causes.
Read Sam on why Ike’s cause is of particular interest to him here and visit Converted Mets Fan regularly. He writes and roots like he was born into Mets fandom.

A 20 game winner, a 30 hr guy and a no hitter all in the same year and a season all fans despise. What a strange game baseball is.
