Tony Romo, the current love of singer Jessica Simpson, was in New York City yesterday on behalf of Starter for the New York Yankees batting practice.

Romo is the spokesperson for Starter, an affordable line of clothing and shoes that is sold exclusively at Wal-Mart. Romo said of Starter, “My family, we needed to have stuff that was durable and would last a long time and still felt good. That meant a lot. It’s high-quality stuff I wear now.”

The event Tony attended was to benefit the Starlight Foundation. Romo took a 10-year-old boy, Ben, who has leukemia, to batting practice to fulfill his wish of meeting the Cowboys quarterback as well as some Yankees.

“Most of the time I think I’m unimportant in a lot of ways so when you feel like you can influence someone and allow them to be happier, that really hits home,” said Romo, who is in the process of setting up his foundation. “I think that’s one area that many of us, myself included, who are in a position in the public eye need to help out more.”

Well played Mr. Romo, well played.
