WHO:   Tim Hudson, Atlanta Braves
       Brad Wilkerson, Washington Nationals

WHAT:  Major League Baseball players will film commercial spots as
       part of the 2005 Major League Baseball Charities and Boys &
       Girls Clubs of America (B&GCA) PSA campaign.

       The 2005 PSA campaign is designed to increase the awareness of
       the partnership between MLB and B&GCA - the Official Charity of
       Major League Baseball.  It also will reinforce the message that
       Major League Baseball and its players help create positive
       opportunities for youth through programs such as Reviving
       Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) and Rookie League.

       As many as ten players will film spots for the 2005 campaign.
       Players were selected for the campaign based on both their
       on-field achievements and commitment to community service
       activities.

       Major League Baseball Productions, the Emmy(R) award-winning
       television and video production division of Major League
       Baseball, is producing the campaign.
