 MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - It seems almost unimaginable in pro sports: a team that gives its profits to charity.
That's the goal for the owners of the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds, who donate thousands of dollars to inner-city charities while helping breathe new life into a once-crumbling strip of downtown.
AutoZone Park — the team's $80 million, 14,200-seat stadium — is owned by The Memphis Redbirds Baseball Foundation, which is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a charity.
