Astros owner Jim Crane and his company Crane Worldwide Logistics were instrumental in helping supplies flow to the area as well as helping verify deals, McKeon said.

"He was on those supply chain calls every day," said McKeon. "(He has) boots on the ground that could go into a warehouse in Germany or China and get on the phone immediately and say, 'It's here. We have it. This is a good order.'

Crane's company helped bring in millions of masks, along with hundreds of thousands of nasal swabs, face shields and goggles, according to an April 10 news release from the Astros Foundation. The Foundation also made a $400,000 donation.
