Think you like Ike now? At least as good a reason as his two homers and five RBIs [1] last night to applaud Mr. Davis is the commitment he’s made to support Solving Kids’ Cancer [2] and the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative [3] 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 [4] via picture and word at Converted Mets Fan. Sam really gets to the soul of what a baseball player (and his teammates [5]) can do via celebrity to help worthwhile causes.
Read Sam on why Ike’s cause is of particular interest to him here [6] and visit Converted Mets Fan regularly [7]. He writes and roots like he was born into Mets fandom.
