Something has to be pink. Players can't try and avoid it by trying to slip in a game without it. The promotion is for 4/5 games. A player won't risk suspension. Not for any cause.

which I hope there is.

The first chance will come on mother's day when baseball normally covers everything in pink for KFTC.

Ugly color and I hate that it's foisted on me (since I'm female) as the "woman's color."

When I was younger, the only pink I wore was lipstick/nail polish. Clothing was always dark...navy, brown, dark green, black. Maybe trying to "hide" or something.

As I got older I started liking brighter colors. Now, at 59, I love red. Lots of red, even lipstick (no nail polish...I hate it).


Anyway, pink makes me think of Pepto Bismol, and that makes me think of... intestinal difficulties.
