CardsJimEdmonds15 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Pink bats are part of fund-raiser for cancer foundation Associated Press Updated: May 9, 2006, 10:53 PM ET LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Hulking Jim Thome. Rugged Manny Ramirez. Brawny Adam Dunn. "The thought of these big macho men, swinging pink bats to help women with breast cancer ... what a novel idea," Louisville Slugger president John Hillerich said Tuesda Derek Jeter, David Eckstein and Marcus Giles are among dozens of players who intend to try them Sunday. This is the first time pink has been approved for bats -- dyed at the Louisville Slugger factory, they're usually black, brown, reddish or white. More than 400 bats were being made for 50-plus players. David Ortiz, Jim Edmonds, Mark Teixeira, Michael Young and Hank Blalock were also on the list.

Strike 3 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Anything that attracts attention to such a worthy cause is great! :thumbup MLB and the players have raised a lot of money for prostate cancer research so this is another good move.

Junior Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Griffey sat out today's game just so he could play with the pink bat tomorrow. If he played today, he wouldn't have been able to tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
