In the Pink

An early Happy Mother's Day to all moms and moms-to-be out there. MLB will help celebrate the day by working in cooperation with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to help raise funds and awareness for breast cancer.

200 players from will use special pink bats in Sunday's games. Some of those bats will then be autographed and auctioned off with proceeds going to the Komen Foundation. You can also buy your very own pink bat like those used in the games at mlb.com. $10 of the purchase will also be direction to the Komen Foundation.

This hits close to home as both my sister and mother-in-law are breast cancer survivors. The Yankee's Doug Mientkiewicz will be one of the players using the pink bat tomorrow. His mother and wife have both survived the disease.
