Revere sends Boston prayers on glove last night, Victorino adds personal messages to tragedy

Ben Revere had a special message to share on his baseball glove, and it came in the form of a taped handwritten message that simply said, “Pray For Boston”.

Of course the Boston Marathon bombing has taken the country into a period of mourning for the victims as well as a new awareness that there are bad people out there that would do such things.

Shane Victorino, former Phillies outfielder, sent out his own series of  tweets or short messages via Twitter  last night.

Wearing a Boston uniform has new meaning for me today. Honored and proud to represent a city of heroes! twitter.com/ShaneVictorino…
