Fanatics executive chair Michael Rubin announced Thursday he will convert a factory that makes MLB jerseys into one that makes masks and gowns for health workers.
The products will go to help those dealing with the outbreak of the coronavirus.
Michael Rubin @MichaelGRubin(Thread): Woke up in the middle of the night last week with idea of converting our @Fanatics factory in PA that makes official @MLB jerseys into a facility that makes much needed masks and gowns and then donating them to help fight this horrendous virus. https://t.co/r6FAxUdlgH
Michael Rubin @MichaelGRubinand plan to make one million masks and gowns then immediately donate and distribute them to hospitals and emergency management personnel across PA with the goal of extending this to NJ and NY – the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in the US!
