Barrett and Project 3000

[XZero771679666304]

I didn't see this posted anywhere, so:

 

Cubs catcher Michael Barrett plans to make an immediate donation of $50,000 and then contribute $10,000 per home run to a charity started by first baseman Derrek Lee to fight a rare eye disease afflicting Lee's daughter, FOXSports.com has learned.

Classy move Michael!

 

Good to see that Gino's East endorsement money going to good use!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Good, more reasons to hope he hits a lot of home runs.

I agree

Another reason why I hope the Cubs sign him to an extension.

Barrett will make about 3M post-tax, so if he hits 20 homers, this could end up being about 1/12 of his salary. Thats a pretty significant portion of his income.

Yeah, pretty good. What a nice guy. I'm sure he invests his money wisely. I did the math one time I'm not sure how accurate it is but I estimated if you put your money in a good bank just 1 million would earn you an interest of $50,000 each year.

Yet another reason to like him. What an easy player to root for.
