Father's Day is June 19, which means it's time for Da Babe's readers to step up to the plate and help in the fight to find a cure for prostate cancer.
Major League baseball and the Prostate Cancer Foundation have teamed up for the Home Run Challenge that helps raise the funds researchers need to put an end to this deadly disease.
Major League players, managers, coaching staffs, trainers, equipment managers, groundskeepers and umpires will wear blue wristbands, blue headbands, blue biceps bands, blue ribbon temporary tattoos and blue eye glare. There will also be blue manager cards, blue bases and a blue ribbon on the field. All of these items are to promote prostate cancer awareness on Father's Day.
A big attraction for Da Babe's readers is a set of six cards featuring Jim Thome of the Phillies, Jeff Bagwell (Astros), Carlos Delgado (Marlins), Luis Gonzalez (Diamondbacks), Ken Griffey Jr. (Reds) and Scott Rolen (Cardinals).
