This Sunday on Mothers Day, the Texas Rangers baseball team will use pink bats against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim as part of Major League Baseball's commitment to raise breast cancer awareness on Mother's Day.
To date, more than 200 players have signed up to use a pink bat, which is more than twice the participation in 2006.
Select game-used bats, as well as team-autographed bats from every club, will be auctioned on MLB.com at a later date, with proceeds benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Fans can also purchase their own personalized pink bat at www.MLB.com , or www.slugger.com with Major League Baseball donating $10 from the sale of each bat to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Rangers designated hitter Sammy Sosa said. "It's a good cause."
"To me, it's a way to say thank you to my mother for being a part of my life," Rangers catcher Gerald Laird said. "You respect your mother more than anybody, and this is a sign of respect. It's an opportunity to show how grateful I am for everything that she's done for me."
So what if the bat is pink? Be sure and get your own bat by going to MLB.com they are only $69.00.
