Ya gotta love those Major League Baseball players who used pink bats on Sunday to honor their mothers and to help raise money for breast cancer research. According to the Associated Press, "The response has been phenomenal," in the words of Louisville Slugger president John Hillerich.
Major League Baseball granted special permission for players to use baby pink bats for Mother's Day only, part of a weeklong program to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Dozens of players signed up for the bats and several players wanted their moms' named burned on the bats. Kevin Mench, a Texas Rangers slugger, also planned to have a bat for his grandmother, who died of breast cancer.
More than 400 bats were being made for 50-plus players. Great idea.
