For Mother’s Day MLB and the Mets will break out the pink bats. Â How about pink caps?
They already break out Stars and Stripes caps, why not pink?
If you’re going to do it – commit!
Clubs at home on Mother’s Day will host their Honorary Bat Girl during scheduled on-field celebrations; visiting Clubs on Mother’s Day will select another date in May to recognize their local winner. The program was developed to raise additional awareness and support for the annual Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer® initiative, a joint partnership between MLB, its licensed partners and Komen for the Cure, the world’s largest breast cancer organization, taking place on Mother’s Day.
Hundreds of Major League Baseball players will use pink bats produced by Louisville Slugger, the Official Bat of Major League Baseball, stamped with the MLB breast cancer logo on Mother’s Day. Many players also will wear pink wristbands and the symbolic pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness will be displayed on player uniforms, as well as on all on-field personnel.
Love Mothers. Hate Cancer. Unfortunately, also hate pink. Couldn’t they break out light blue for breast (or any other) cancer? Go Mets (and the doctors combating cancer!)!
