Proctor Still Brings Relief

Scott Proctor may no longer be a Yankee, but his former teammates Johnny Damon and Kyle Farnsworth, as well as his new manager - who is also his old manager - Joe Torre, are helping the right-hander bring relief to his fellow Floridians.

Damon and Torre will be in attendance at Proctor's M.E.’s Team Celebrity Benefit Ball at The Tesoro Club in Port St. Lucie on February 1st. M.E. stands for Mary Elizabeth, Scott Proctor's daughter, who had open heart surgery when she was just 3 weeks old. The benefit will help raise money for pediatric heart ailment research.

“I think Joe Torre’s character as an individual and as a leader will bring some class to the event and will get some people interested in getting out there. Him and Johnny both, I think they’re just classy individuals, and I think they’re going to be fun to hang out with,” Proctor said. “I was really picky with who I asked. With Johnny and Joe, I just asked a big favor.”

The ball as well as the clay shooting tournament the next day in Okeechobee, will also raise funds for Little League challenger division baseball. Farnsworth is expected to partake in the 2nd day's events along with Damon.

The ball will also include a performance by up and coming country singer Ryan Weaver, who lost a brother in the war in Iraq. Proctor will also be hosting a free baseball clinic on Feb. 9th to help fund education costs in Stuart, Florida.

Nice job Scotty!
