“Going to Bat” for Breast Cancer

There’s a new thing going on in the world of professional sports, and no, I’m not talking about any new teams or any major changes, but a positive advance for the cause of breast cancer research and studies, as well as funding for breast health. 

It’s called “Going to Bat for Breast Cancer” and it can be seen in the pink bats that some players will be using which say just that on them, in support of breast health and breast cancer prevention.

The bats are sent to players on various teams for use on Mother’s Day, one of the most perfect days to choose for such a promotion, since men in this age bracket typically have moms that are in the higher risk category for breast cancer.  The project, put on by MLB is an effort to raise awareness about breast cancer.

We hope this does it’s job.  Oh yeah, and they’ll wear pink hats too.  Now that’ll be a sight to see!
