FLINT, MI -- Detroit Tigers utilityman Niko Goodrum took his parent's lesson to heart Monday when he handed out water to Flint residents at Bethel United Methodist Church.
Goodrum said he remembers seeing a movie on TV about the water crisis in Flint.
"I thought that if I make the team, I wanted to do something to help them," Goodrum said on June 11. "The big thing my parents always taught me was someone always needs help. No one gets anywhere by themselves."
Goodrum donated about 15 pallets of water and helped load them into vehicles that were wrapped around the streets surrounding the church at 1309 N.
