Earlier today the Mets announced they will be matching every dollar Carlos Delgado raises for his charity, the Extra Bases Foundation.  Delgado kicked off the announcement with a $100,000 donation. 

The foundation provides aid to needy families in Puerto Rico and in NYC.  Read more about the announcement at mlb.com.

Its nice to see the Wilpons stepping up to help Carlos' charity.  I know this is a cause Delgado has been working with for quite awhile now (he founded the group in 01), and to have both Delgado and the organization step up early in the season like that is always good to see. In an age where we hear so much of athletes getting in trouble, holding out on contracts, and getting in trouble, to see these announcements from Shea about Delgado and Extra Bases and Green and the JLA, where they're trying to do good with their time in the spotlight, makes you proud to be a Met fan.
