MAJOR LEAGUERS IN ACTION
______________________________________________________

Meet the 2008-2009 Action Team Players!

These Major League baseball players are all committed to encouraging young people to get involved in their communities as volunteers. Action Team players help prepare high school Action Team Captains to be service leaders and support Action Team service projects. Each Action Team player works to spread the word that every teen can make a difference as a volunteer!
