New Orleans and its music were meant to be. We couldn't ask for a better symbol of hope than the houses that are beginning to come out of the ground in the New Orleans Habitat Musicians' Village. The hard work of Branford Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and the New Orleans affiliate has made it possible for others, like Dave Matthews Band, to support the project.

awareness baseball beyond bringing coast effort families fresh gulf helped helps kicked league living major people recovery series shadow stadium thinking today tomorrow unless work
Major League Baseball helped kicked this off during the World Series when this was fresh on everybody's mind. Unless you are living in the Gulf Coast, you are probably thinking about other things other than families down there and what they have to go through.

We have to be there today, tomorrow and beyond and Major League Baseball has been a big part of that.
