Yankees, Red Sox pause rivalry in auction for Harvey relief

WASHINGTON — This is a different kind of relief effort than most MLB bullpens are used to. The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox announced Sunday that they were partnering for an auction to raise money for victims of Hurricane Harvey. Both teams will be offering up autographed memorabilia from Sunday night’s game. All proceeds raised through the joint effort will go to support relief efforts, the teams said in a statement. “The effects of this crisis have been felt across the county, including in our own clubhouse where the hearts of many of our players have been with their family and friends who call Texas home,” said Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner. “Tonight, we put our rivalry aside and team up with the Yankees to brings support, attention, and funds to help relief efforts in the aftermath of this tragedy.”
