As a Oriole and Met fan I never thought I'd ever admire the Yankees - but I do!

In yet another impressive display of national support for Virginia Tech in the wake of April's campus shooting, the New York Yankees are donating $1 million to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund.
The Virginia Tech logo was to be painted on the field at Yankee Stadium and worn on players' caps in a game against the Boston Red Sox.
Charles Steger, the university's president, was scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, and he was joined at the game by athletic director Jim Weaver and members of the school's police and rescue squads.
