It was Mother's day last Sunday. As we may go out to have a dinner with our mother, baseball players still need to play baseball that day. However, they can still have some good ways to honor the greatest women on this planet.
Pink all around the field
There are pink shoes, pink bat, pink shin guards, pink wrist lets, pink face masks, even the bag is pink, and so many things that its color can be changed into pink. LOL
All these are aimed at supporting one of the greatest non government organization, Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. MLB.com now has pink bat for sale, all of its revenue will be donated to Komen. This organization mainly helps those who suffered from breast cancer.
Also, a lot of pre-game events are held to honor all the mothers around the globe and all the breast cancer survivors.
After reading your blog, I went Google MLB's video. IT'S COOL!! Actually, I'm not a fan of MLB, andI did not know this tradition until today. It's truly surrounded with sweet and touching atmosphere. And it's pretty special (a little bit strange, haha!)to see all those strong men wearing pink clothes, and swing pink bats! Here's the connection I searched.
