If my Mom wanted me to wear pink she wouldn’t have dressed me up in blue when I was a baby. Not sure why baseball players would wear pink on mother’s day.

My son’s opponents wore pink shirts on Saturday for their B level Little League game. We won 14-1 after four innings (it was 14-0 until we put in our newest and youngest pitcher, and put the best players in the outfield, to be sporting).

The shirts didn’t help them.

I believe it was breast cancer awareness weekend.

There’s another one in the fall for football and basketball players.

It’s a Susan G. Koman thing. I lost respect for them when they were cowed by Planned Babymurder.

I agree -— stupid! the uniforms looked terrible and you could hardly tell one team from another. Even the bats were pink. STUPID!

Stick to the home uniform and the away uniform. Get rid of all the other uniforms, including the chamo.

They want to celebrate Mother’s Day? Let the Mothers run the bases after the game!!!

I really hope this was a ONE DAY thing, and that it won't be repeated.

The NFL looks ridiculous enough with pink shoes and towels for the entire month of October.

I was watching The Mariners and Blue Jays play today.

Pink everything. It just looks UGLY.

The Jays have awesome uniforms, and they are the BLUE Jays, not the PINK Jays.

At least the NFL players don't use a pink ball and wear pink helmets and uniforms.

Who thought this was a good idea?

I boycott watching all sports events that highlight pink.

Two of the many things that Pizz me off are professional athletes wearing and using pink uniforms/equipment and female commentators on baseball, football and hockey.

I watched the Astros/Yankees game that night. The pink was sickening. More feminizing of America. I also could do without the Mexican outreach uniforms in which the Astros become Los Astros. What do the Yankees go by on Mexico Day? Are they the Nuevo York Gringos?
