(AP) -- Major League Baseball and a charitable foundation for players plan to build two house frames outside Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium during the league's All-Star game on July 10th.
MLB officials and corporate sponsor State Farm said yesterday in Kansas City they want to use the effort to remind fans that the storm-ravaged communities of Joplin, Missouri and Tuscaloosa, Alabama still need help.
Five of the proposed nine Habitat homes will go to Joplin, which lost an estimated 7,500 homes in the EF5 tornado last May that killed 161 people. The other four will go to Tuscaloosa, where more than 50 people died in an EF4 tornado in late April 2011.
