Pink is the color of the day today at Fenway as the Red Sox participate in national Mother’s Day activities.
All over the clubhouse, Sox players were taking out and sampling deliveries of pink bats, all made as part of a Major League baseball program to help raise Breast Cancer awareness on Mother’s Day. Next month, on Father’s Day, a similar program will be held to help with the battle against prostate cancer.
For today, all players have been given shipments of pink bats that includes a breast cancer logo on the barrel. Some players also are wearing pink wristbands. Alex Cora was just out in the cage using one of the pink bats for batting practice. There is a note on the bulletin board in the clubhouse for players to hand in some of the pink bats so they can be sold at raffles to raise money for breast cancer research.
Also, workers in souvenir stands are setting up displays for sale of tiny pink bats.
