After beating the Red Sox 8-5, the Yankees are getting set to head to Blacksburg, VA to play Virginia Tech in an exhibition match commemorating good will for the school who faced great tragedy last April.

The game will be held on Tuesday, and although it will hardly be a tough match up, the team is excited to offer a little enjoyment to the school who lost 32 of their fellow students in the terrible shooting. It will be a quick trip for the team, flying into town in the morning, visit a memorial sight, play the game, and fly out that night.

The game will be at English Field in front of 3000 spectators. It will also be broadcast on the video board at the campus stadium.

The New York Times reports:

“The Yankees will wear hats with the Hokies’ colors, maroon with an orange NY, during batting practice. The players will sign them for a university auction. Several players grabbed extra hats as souvenirs before leaving Legends Field on Monday.”

It’s a nice move for the team and a great set up for a promising season. For your NY Yankee tickets make sure to look here online.
