PINK Umpire shirts?!?! YGTBSM!!

[UmpJM]

Nope, I am serious as a heart attack!

My association, Fox Valley Blues, will be providing the umpires for the CABA and USSSA World Series (U9, U11, & U15) being held in the NW suburbs of Chicago next week.

Rather than just collecting our game fees and going home, as a group we've decided (with the tournaments' blessings) to see if we can't accomplish a little good by helping raise awareness - and money - to help fight breast cancer.

Along with our wives, daughters and sisters, we will be promoting awareness of breast cancer early detection and engaging in various fundraising activities.

As part of the fun, during certain games at certain venues, the umpire crews will be wearing PINK umpire shirts.

If you'd like to find out more - heck, maybe even kick in a little coin to support your colleagues in this effort - check out: FVB Umpires.

Who knows, sometime next week you might even see a picture of yours truly working a game in a pink shirt.

Thanks for your support!
