Pink Bats in the Major Leagues
"When I heard that Major League Baseball had approved the use of them I said I'd do it. My grandmother passed away when I was 10 from breast cancer. She was a bigger baseball fan than I was at the time. I assume the bats will feel the same, the only difference will be the color. But I don't see any problem with that."

"My wife's grandmother passed away a year ago from cancer. The pink could be a little distracting while you're hitting, and it might be tough seeing the ball off the bat, but one day out of the year isn't going to hurt anyone. It's for a great cause."

Several Tigers will use pink bats Sunday -- Mother's Day -- to raise awareness (and eventually money) for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. (Taken from Tom Gage's Tigers Notebook at the Detroit News).

Like crying, there is know room in baseball for pink bats, thats like having women in the dugout! I have offered to give all the female attendees of the baseball game in Cleveland a free breast exam. (LOL)
Great cause, good for the MLB and its players
