Real Men Swing Pink Bats

For the very first time in the history of Major League Baseball, pink bats have been approved for official game use.
"They're part of a weeklong program to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation," according to yesterday's Washington Post story.
The bats (above) were dyed at the Louisville Slugger factory, from which they normally emerge in shades of brown, black, red or white.
According to the Post, "Derek Jeter, David Eckstein and Marcus Giles are among the dozens of players who intend to try them Sunday."
