NEW YORK -- The Red Sox and Yankees are joining forces to assist those affected by Hurricane Harvey, by partnering to raise money for relief efforts by auctioning off various autographed items of team memorabilia from Sunday's game at Yankee Stadium.
All of the proceeds raised through this joint initiative will go to support hurricane relief efforts. Before Sunday's game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Red Sox manager John Farrell will kick off the fundraising efforts by unfurling a large Texas state flag signed by members of both teams.
"The effects of this crisis have been felt across the country, including in our own clubhouse where the hearts of many of our players have been with their families and friends who call Texas home," Red Sox chairman Tom Werner said.
