It's nice to hear about the good things some MLB players do, instead of hearing about drugs and arrests. Especially since this one is a Rangers player:

Quote:
CHINANDEGA, Nicaragua -- Even before he made millions of dollars in the Majors, Rangers pitcher Vicente Padilla remembered the limitations that he was surrounded by during his childhood. Those memories created a desire to start up a project aimed at assisting the most needy children in his hometown of Chinandega.

On Friday at the Hotel Los Volcanes, Padilla, introduced the Vicente Padilla Foundation, a foundation created to support local students in sports while at the same time stimulating the studies of young people who have good qualifications and sparse economic resources.
