Shane Victorino's busy offseason continued this morning by him tweeting about appearing on Extreme Home Makeover with Ty Pennington. Shane's incredibly generous donation and work with the Boys and Girls Club in Philadelphia is well documented, so it's no surprise he's already getting involved in another good cause this offseason.

Haters are gonna hate on Victorino for being chatty this offseason on Twitter about many things not involving baseball -- heck, I was thinking about unfollowing the New York Times and ABC News yesterday because Shane's Twitter was keeping me abreast of earthquakes in Turkey and all the major news stories of the day -- but one thing nobody can criticize the Phillies center fielder for is being generous with his time and money to those not as fortunate.
I'd totally tune in to see Shane yell at a bus.
