Auction winner joins Nationals' grounds crew
LUNGevity president Andrea Ferris discusses the importance of lung cancer awareness and her foundation's partnership with MLBWASHINGTON -- Lawrence Fung won the big prize, so now he gets to do the chores.
Tuesday, Fung, a Brooklyn, N.Y., native, served as an honorary member of the Nationals' grounds crew, his prize for winning an auction at Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings.
"I have not been told what I'm going to be doing yet, but hopefully I'll get to pull a base out of the ground, sweep the field or maybe even dance on the infield," said Fung before the game.
