In order to raise money for White Sox Charities, which provides support to many Chicago-oriented charities that stand for different causes, the team is auctioning off a 2014 Mazda3 hatchback. This is no ordinary Mazda3, however. The car has received a custom paint job, including the pinstripes of the White Sox along with the team logo located on both of the rear doors of the car.
The raffle tickets are available for ten dollars each and can be purchased at U.S. Cellular Field or online at this link.
The approximate retail value of the Mazda starts at $18,945, or approximately 0.02% of the White Sox 2014 payroll. As for the Chicago White Sox Charities, they have donated over $20 million since being founded in 1990.
The team itself sits in second place in the AL Central with a 28-27 record, only four games behind the first place Detroit Tigers. Last year, they lost 99 games, the most since 1976.
