Today we honor our littlest fighters on Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. #MLBTogether, in partnership with the Starlight Children’s Foundation, is once again delivering Nintendo Switch gaming devices to local children’s hospitals, pediatric cancer care units and pediatric cancer nonprofit organizations in all 30 Club markets. All players and on-field personnel will wear gold ribbon decals today to mark their support.
