Strikeouts for Troops

A worthy organization…

Strikeouts for Troopsâ„¢ is a national project of Oakland Athletics pitcher Barry Zito for the benefit of our war wounded troops being treated at Walter Reed Army Hospital, Bethesda Naval Hospital, and other military hospitals for injuries received during service in Iraq, Afghanistan and other assignments. During the 2005 Major League Baseball season, every time Barry Zito strikes out a batter, he will donate $100.00 to Strikeouts For Troops. He will also invite other major league pitchers to match his pledge.

As American as apple pie.
