Number Eight: The Jimmy Fund.


I was watching TCM a couple of weeks ago and the movie they had just shown inconveniently ended some time between the bottom and the top of the hour. So they were filling time and one of the things they happened to show was this Jimmy Fund ad with Ted Williams and Bing Crosby. I'm not sure why but it surprised me. It shouldn't have done. The Jimmy Fund and the movies go together; you go in the summer and there are the steelworkers spray painting names on the side of the building and the ushers come out with the cans. I know these things, so maybe it was just the different setting.

Regardless, The Jimmy Fund does good. And the relationship with the Red Sox is the kind of thing to give you the warm fuzzies.
