Vote for Sheil Park Supporter, Ted Lilly!

Vote Here.

Since signing a four- year contract with the Cubs in December of 2006, Ted Lilly has the second most wins by a left-handed pitcher, as well as being one of only five lefties to amass double digit win totals in each of the past six seasons. However, it is Ted's work away from the pitchers mound that has proven to be most helpful.

Ted has embraced Chicago since his arrival and has put forth numerous efforts to do what is necessary to help the residents of the Windy City. Ted made a five figure monetary contribution to a Chicago Cubs designated charity that supports youth sports, children with special needs, victims of domestic violence and charities in the Lakeville/ Wrigleyville community. He also participates in a number of team fund-raising events such as Meet the Team, Have a Ball and the annual Cubs Convention.

Ted has helped out in many different areas including donating his time, money and items to both the Sheil Park Playlot Renovation Project which raises funds to renovate the Sheil Park Playlot in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago and to P.A.W.S Chicago, which is the city's largest no-kill humane organization focused on alleviating Chicago's pet homelessness problem.

Ted's generosity does not stop there, he has a tremendous passion for helping the Chicago areas youth. He regularly visits patients at the Children's Memorial Hospital as well as participating in fund raisers to benefit the hospital. Furthermore Ted has participated in the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois by spending time with children who visit Wrigley field.
