MLB misc. and Saturday

First of all, an article about Mets closer Billy Wagner donating money to help afterschool tutoring organizations: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070516&content_id=1968782&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb.

Next, a good Christian article about Orioles 2nd baseman Brian Roberts:

Also, an article about Padres pitcher Jake Peavy, a Christian, and Team Focus, a program that he works with that mentors boys who don't have their fathers in their lives. It was started by ESPN analyst Mike Gottfried. Here's the article:

Here's a good article by Indians rightfielder Trot Nixon, a Christian. Here's a quote from him about why he signed with the Indians over other teams:

In the offseason, I had the opportunity to sign with several different teams, but I just felt that God spoke to me and guided me to Cleveland. It's a new opportunity and a new challenge that I'm thankful to have before me.

Lastly, here in Indiana I've seen a new commercial with the Colts Jeff Saturday, a Christian. It's advertising Methodist Sports Medecine in Indianapolis who works with the Colts. It's a really cute commercial. I checked out their website and it said that there's going to be one with the Colts Dallas Clark, also a Christian, too. Here's a video link to the Saturday commercial:
