Happy Mother’s Day
From the players on the field to the fans in the stands, we all love our moms! In honor of Mother’s Day and to further demonstrate support for breast cancer, players and on-field personnel from both teams will wear a symbolic pink ribbon on their uniforms today, along with pink wristbands and several players may use Louisville Slugger pink bats stamped with the MLB breast cancer awareness logo. And as a special gift to all the moms who are Giants fans, the Giants posted a win against the Braves.
