Crabs raising money to aid Tenn. flood victims

The Charlotte Stone Crabs, with several ties to the Nashville, Tenn., area, are raising money to benefit flood victims there.

The team, which has three front-office employees who previously worked for the Nashville Sounds, is working with the American Red Cross.

Monetary and supply donations will be accepted for the rest of the season at Charlotte Sports Park. The Crabs will also auction items periodically -- starting with an autographed jersey tonight -- with the proceeds going to the relief fund.
