So those who watch baseball know the tradition of the pink bats used on Mothers Day the past few years. Yesterday while watching the Rays game they mentioned about proceedes from the bat sales would go to help the fight on breast cancer. Very cool as I thought that was the deal anyway. Me and the wife decided to check it out. The bats sell for $69.99. Which is reasonable. The part thet kicks me in the jewels is that only $10 of every sale goes for breast cancer. WTF!!!!!!!!!! Really!!!!!! Its hard to believe thats all they can afford to give. I know something is better than nothing but when it is plastered all over the games about the awareness factor as if MLB is doing some great act of kindness, and still want to make quite a nut on the cost of the bats, it really has a bad taste. I would have done it if $50.00 would have gone to the cause.:angry7:

Thats all. Rant over. Happy Mothers Day.
 
I agree too homecloned.....I heard a while back that the CEO or whatever of "breast cancer" salary is something like $1-2 million a year!! Cancer is a killer, but it is also a money maker!!
