Chris Bassitt and his wife commit to making charitable donations after every victory.

TORONTO – Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt and his wife Jessica want to have an impact on their new home in Toronto.

The Bassitts pledged on Tuesday to donate US$10,000 every time the Blue Jays win when Chris pitches this season, retroactive to Opening Day. To date, the Bassitts have already committed $120,000 to the charity.

“Every team we’ve been with it’s kind of been a been a one-year thing,” said Jessica sitting in the home dugout of Rogers Centre beside her husband. “We’ve always wanted to get plugged into the community and so now that we’ve signed a three-year contract, we thought that was a really good place to start.”
