Break a Bat, Plant a Tree

[RGus]

Just another reason why the Minnesota Twins are so awesome! They plan to plant 100 trees for every bat broken by a Twins pitcher.

"The Twins claim that on average, a team breaks one bat every game. That would result in 16,200 new trees planted on Minnesota state parks and trails as a result of Break a Bat, Plant a Tree."

Thats really cool...the only thing is who is going to plant them so they have the best chance of survival?

Does Carl Pohlad still own the Twins?

What a great gesture!

Let's hope that they don't plant ash to replace the bats!

Carl passed away last year, but I am pretty sure the Twins are still owned by the Pohlad family.
