MLB, Virginia Charity Donate Nullified Dodgers Championship Gear

MLB has aligned with Virginia-based charitable organization Good360 to donate Dodgers-related World Series championship merchandise produced but not able to be sold following the Astros’ Game 7 win last night. The Dodgers merchandise will be collected from various retailers over the next several weeks and distributed internationally. Good360 has worked with several other major retailers and licensors including Disney. MLB previously was aligned with World Vision on charitable distribution of non-salable championship gear, and Indians-related World Series merchandise last year was destroyed following the Cubs’ title.

Quote of the Day
We are catching up over a three-year period for the three years of the flat cap coming out of COVID. We didn't want it to happen all at once, because that would have skewed salaries and been, if you will, fortuitous and maybe unfair for the players who happened to be free agents when that happened. We're staging how we catch back up with what the cap would otherwise have been if we didn't have the flat cap.
-- NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, explaining the jump in the league's salary cap over the next few years as the league continues to emerge from the financial chaos of the pandemic.
