Local Ballers Going Green

Great story by Tom Hoffarth in the Daily News today about a couple of local baseballers going green in a big way.

Cincinnatti Reds outfielder Chris Dickerson, who grew up in Van Nuys and honed his skills at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, and Cleveland Indians pitcher Jack Cassel, who got his start at Kennedy High School and Pierce College, have formed WePlayGreen.org.

Their primary crusade is to reduce the use of plastic in sports -- think of all those bottles of water and sports drinks consumed by weekend, amateur and professional players every single day. Check out Hoffarth's article and visit the WePlayGreen website and show the locals some love!
