I'm probably more of a baseball fan then the rest of Team Boobylicious, so reading something like this is pretty darn exciting.
To date, more than 200 (Major League Baseball) players have signed up to use a pink Louisville Slugger bat to raise awareness for breast cancer on Mother's Day, May 13th. That number is more than double the participation in 2006. [link]
To know that baseball players that are making millions of dollars to do their thing on the baseball field are willing to switch up their bats for a day and create some amazing awareness for the Susan G Komen for the Cure gives me even more hope that we'll find a cure sooner rather than later.
Michael Cuddyer, one of my favorite Minnesota Twins, puts it quite well:
"People now realize the importance of creating awareness for this issue, and they realize the impact that it did make," Cuddyer said of last year's event. "To be in the situation where you're able to do something, even as little as using a pink bat, it's worth making the effort to be a part of that."
