Al Leiter

New York Mets All-Star Al Leiter campaigned for George W. Bush in Florida for his 2000 election. Al is an avid coordinator and participant in aid organizations. After signing a four-year, $32 million contract with the Mets in 1998, Al publicly pledged to donate $1 million to kids' causes, mostly through a foundation he and his wife started and ran. Among his gifts to the communities was his establishment of a tutoring project in Harlem and a $100,000 donation for the construction of a Little League baseball field in his hometown of Toms River, New Jersey. Al is contemplating a campaign for the U.S. Senate from his home of New Jersey in 2008.
