Last may I wrote the following on the fast site - figured I would make my final contribution here: If you are a met fan please join in and I will try to present the malaria cup to the wilpons - the first of two world championship trophies I hope they will get in 2007. I will be donating $5 for very Mets victory this year. The mets win - africa wins. Met fans please join me in this initiative. Malaria is the 62 Mets of disease, the Enron of public health. we need to get involved now. THIS IS A DISEASE EMERGENCY OF HISTORIC PROPORTIONS: - SIXTY TWO MILLION PEOPLE DIED DURING WORLD WAR II - FIFTEEN MILLION PEOPLE DIED DURING WORLD WAR I - 3,000 PEOPLE DIED ON 9/11 - 150,000 PEOPLE DIED DURING THE TSUNAMI - MORE THAN FIFTY MILLION CHILDREN HAVE DIED FROM MALARIA, AN EASILY PREVENTABLE DISEASE, SINCE 1980. - BETWEEN ONE AND THREE MILLION CHILDREN WILL DIE THIS YEAR FROM MALARIA - 90% OF THEM UNDER 5 EVEN THOUGH THEIR LIVES CAN SAVED BY A $5 BEDNET. A child dies of malaria every 30 seconds - during the four minutes that it took me to write this page - 8 children died of malaria. I will be reporting the scores of the games, the times of each game and the number of children that died during each game. Please feel free to copy this idea for the yankees, the white sox or any other team that will lose to the mets in the world series this year. Create your own Knicks, Nets, Lakers, Cowboys page. Lets see which fans have the most heart.
Participants: Lance Laifer - and the 25 that Willie takes north with him this year - pitchers and catchers report soon!
