ST. PETERSBURG -- Chris Archer, the Rays, and national nonprofit, Good Sports, continued their third year of partnership on Wednesday morning by visiting with members of the Northwest Little League in Tampa, Fla.
Together, they provided the program with new baseball equipment for their season. The donation, which includes bats, catcher's equipment, batting helmets, and training equipment for their baseball and softball teams was valued at $11,000.
Archer served as a spokesperson for the group effort, and addressed the kids during the visit.
"My message is always the same," Archer said. "I always try to tell them to identify their talent early and attack it whole heartedly.
