"In this day and age of pay-to-play, there are thousands of kids that just cannot afford to play sports," said Eliot Tatelman, President and CEO of Jordan's Furniture. "We think that every youth should enjoy America's favorite pastime so we created the Double Play Youth Baseball Program. This is the sixth year and with the help of the Red Sox Foundation, we'll be able to reach a lot of inner-city kids in our area."

"We are grateful to partner with community champion Jordan's Furniture on this terrific equipment drive for the sixth year," said Red Sox Foundation Executive Director Gena Borson.
