From the Nationals: 

The Washington Nationals and pitcher Joel Hanrahan, a native of Norwalk, Iowa, have partnered with the American Red Cross for a fundraising campaign which includes an online auction on nationals.com to benefit the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.  The fund helps the victims of thousands of disasters across the country each year, such as the tornadoes and floods in the Central United States.

The auction will feature 13 sports memorabilia and/or experience packages and last for one week, Thursday, June 26 through Thursday, July 3. Auction items include the Ultimate Nats Fan Experience: four Presidents Club tickets, batting practice passes and autographed baseballs, batting practice meet and greet with Nationals pitcher Joel Hanrahan and other Nationals players, scoreboard welcome and ballpark tour.

Additional items for auction include a round of golf for two with a Nationals player; pitching rubber signed by Nationals Hall of Fame Broadcaster Don Sutton and Orioles Hall of Fame Broadcaster Jim Palmer; and game-used items such as a baseball from the Washington Nationals vs. New York Yankees game at RFK Memorial Stadium on June 6, 2006. A complete list of items may be found on nationals.com beginning on Thursday, June 26.
