Alyssa Milano Says Son’s Baseball Team ‘Came in 3rd Out of 70 Teams’ After She Received Criticism for Fundraising for Them

Alyssa Milano is sharing an update on her son Milo’s baseball team after she received criticism for fundraising for the team online.
The Charmed alum, 51, posted a carousel of photos on Instagram on Friday, July 19, featuring her family on different baseball-related adventures.
“Remember all the s— I got for fundraising for my son’s baseball team?” she began the caption of the post. “The team came in 3rd out of 70 teams. The families on our team are so appreciative to everyone who made a donation.”
“The money we raised ensured every child on the team was able to participate and make the trip with their families. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you,” she added.

The carousel of photos included a snapshot of the actress kissing her husband, David Bugliari, through a fence, her son Milo playing baseball, and her daughter Elizabella enjoying ice cream and posing with her brother.
The Insatiable actress hugged her son in the final photo in the set.
Earlier this year, Milano received criticism online for a post she made on X (formerly Twitter) on Jan. 25, asking her followers to donate to a GoFundMe account she set up to raise money for a trip that Milo’s baseball team was taking to Cooperstown, N.Y.
Per the GoFundMe page, she organized the fundraiser under her legal name, Alyssa Bugliari, and her husband was the recipient of the funds.
Following the post on X, Milano shared an Instagram post on Feb. 1, which included screenshots showing that Milo, 12, was receiving criticism from strangers online because of his mom’s X post.
“Every parent raises money for their child’s sports teams and many of them do so through GoFundMe. I am no different,” Milano wrote alongside a series of screenshots. “As much as I’d love to pay for the entire team and their families for travel, transportation, hotel, food and beverage, uniforms, trading pins and all the things teams do for this kind of trip — I cannot afford to do so. Maybe someday.”
“Also, if I did pay for everyone — my trolls would find something else to be hurtful about. Regardless of how you feel about me, going on to my hardworking 12 year old son’s Instagram page and leaving these kinds of messages is so horrid,” the actress continued. “Leave the kids alone. Let them play baseball.”
“If you are against donating — don’t donate. If you’d like to donate to help the team’s families — we appreciate it — the link is in his bio,” the Who’s the Boss? alum concluded her message.

The screenshots included in Milano’s post showed comments on Milo’s Instagram account from someone telling him to “Talk to your mom” after she asked for money from “middle income people” for his baseball team.
“You do realize I’m only 12 and I love my mom. My mom is the greatest human of all time. She does everything for everyone,” Milo responded to the first comment.
When the person added another comment, he replied: “Please get off my page. I’m only 12.”
