As coronavirus turns the sports world upside down, Michael Rubin is stepping up to help out those working on the front lines of this pandemic.
The part-owner of the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia 76ers is converting his Fanatics factory in Pennsylvania into a place to manufacture masks and gowns for healthcare workers. He announced the move with a Twitter thread, showing how the facility was using jersey fabric to create potentially life-saving masks and gowns for healthcare workers.

Woke up in the middle of the night last week with idea of converting our @Fanatics factory in PA that makes official @MLB jerseys into a facility that makes much needed masks and gowns and then donating them to help fight this horrendous virus.
