Some of Goldman Sachs' most senior staff played wiffle ball, and it got real competitive
Gary Cohn, president of Goldman Sachs, Mark Teixeira, Harlem RBI Board Member and Yankees player, Brian Levine, cohead of global equities trading and execution services at Goldman Sachs, and kids from the Harlem RBI program.

Levine wanted to continue giving back in New York and came up with the idea after meeting Yankees player and Harlem RBI board member Mark Teixeira six months ago. He wanted to build awareness of the charity and introduce the youth of the program to Wall Street. After the tournament, he planned to give them a tour of the Goldman trading floor.
The TMT Unicorns.
Individual employees and teams donate to the cause and Goldman matches each employee contribution. The winner of the tournament, as well as six kids from Harlem RBI, will have the chance to watch the Yankees play the Mets in the Subway series at the Goldman Sachs box at Yankee Stadium tonight.
Some ball players went straight from the desk to the field.
There were trophies for the winners, the runner ups and the most spirited teams.
