Commissioner Selig says horrific tsunami took an enormous toll that he
called "incomprehensible" to those who watched the
devastation on television Major League Baseball's 30 teams and its
players' association have announced that they will donate $1 million
to help victims of last month's Indian Ocean tsunami.

Commissioner Bud Selig said the horrific tsunami that devastated South
Asia took an enormous toll that he called "incomprehensible" to those
who watched the devastation on television.

Players' union head Donald Fehr said his organization hopes the
contribution will help those trying to rebuild their lives.

In addition the New York Yankees team, which has the highest payroll
in baseball, will donate $1 million from the proceeds of its season
opener against the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox April 3.
