Now I have an even better reason to watch Game 3 of the World Series.

BusinessWire.com reports that Major League Baseball is pulling out all the stops to raise support for hurricane relief in the disaster-stricken Gulf area that was ripped apart by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Quoting from the article:

The Game Three pre-game show, which will focus on the Habitat for Humanity rebuilding effort, will include a performance of the new single “Heart of America” by Eric Benet, Michael McDonald, Wynonna Judd, Terry Dexter and The First Full Gospel Choir of New Orleans. The song, inspired by the devastation caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, recently was released on Reprise/Friday Records and proceeds from the single will be donated to the Habitat for Humanity Gulf Coast rebuilding effort. Following the “Heart of America” performance, Michael McDonald will sing the U.S. National Anthem.

Ok. I’m so there. The entire article can be read here.
