Where are the rest of the Pink Bats?
MLB has not auctioned any more pink bats lately.
I do not recall seeing any Rays bats this year? Am I wrong?
I have a Rays Pink bat(s) from 2008 & 2009.
It seems pretty rare to see any Pink Bats for sale from 2006 & 2007.

Re: Where are the rest of the Pink Bats?
Was wondering the same thing. I also am curious as to where the rest of the Futures game hats went to.

Re: Where are the rest of the Pink Bats?
I loved the concept of the pink bat although I was only fortunate enough to get one game used one of then Detroit Tiger Curtis Granderson.
I hope that MLBB has not withdrawn their support for such a worthy cause.

Re: Where are the rest of the Pink Bats?
the cause is a good one but the "charity" (susan g komen) mlb aligned themselves with is one of the worst groups going. Compared to the other cancer charities they are the worst as far as giving money back and "finding a cure", yet they are the biggest. The money that doesnt go towards their salaries either ends up in a savings account or goes towards raising awareness. i could go on and on but i better stop now. sorry about the rant but most people dont due their duediligence before donating and supporting these fradulant charities!
fyi if you dont believe me you can check out their 990 irs forms either thru the irs or guidestar.org

True, true. For example, the CEO of Goodwill makes half a million a year. That is crazy. What does he do that is so hard?
You have tons of good people that donate all their time for free to volunteer at places, then (just you said Les), the tops dogs rake in huge salaries!

Re: Where are the rest of the Pink Bats?
Still waiting for Gomes's 2011 bat to come up, too.
Regarding charities, as said, lots of them have problems, (although I'm not familiar with the Komen financials); some do little but pay salaries, some spend lots of money without really achieving anything, some well intentioned ones get lots of money for a good cause and then don't know what to do with it. However, the fact that some charities have problems doesn't mean that all do. What it does mean is that you should do your research before buying into them. I know I've heard that said on this board before!
