Vintage Baseball Glove Forum

I would really appreciate the help of my fellow glovers to get some votes for my story of my mom's battle with breast cancer on MLB.com. I really believe she deserves this opportunity for being the beautiful strong woman and mother she is. With your help I hope I can make this opportunity come true.

Josh,

Done. With pleasure. Great story. I wish your mom the best in her fight. My thoughts are with you guys.

P.S. - Love the bald head bud.

Just voted and really hope that your mom wins, Josh! My prayers and wishes for her complete recovery. I know it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go through the chemo treatments. My mom lost her battle with lymph node cancer years ago. She has been gone for 16 years now, but I try to keep my memory of her and of the care and warmth that she gave to her family and friends alive for my daughter. I doubt that there is a week that goes by without me mentioning her Grandma Rhea, whether it's a recipe or a reminiscence about the way things were way back when I was my daughter's age. Good luck in the contest!

Josh,
Great story! There's nothing more I'd like to see than your Mom in the dugout at Wrigley this summer. Best wishes to her...

Will talk to you soon

Josh,
Read the story and cast my vote. My prayers are with your mother and family. I know first hand what you are all going through.

You have my vote as glove collecting is far more than just collecting and admiring. It's about sharing. My mother-in-law has gone through that fight and has survived.
Cancer and the treatment will hit you with every bat in their lineup. You have pitch through it with every ounce of positive strength and support from your teammates and with God's blessings.

JOSH,
Done deal partner....my mom has been dealing with breast cancer since 2001....she's hanging in there after all the ops, radiation and now chem, so I know how you feel....good luck to you and your Mom...I wish her all the best.

Josh,

Just voted for your mother. What an inspirational story, truly touching and heart warming. Stay positive throughout and the lord will bless your family for years to come. I hope your mother is the lucky winner and becomes the Cubs bat girl. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Thanks so much to all of you...It means a lot to me to have great people like you to support me. There is no other community within any other hobby as great as this one. Thank you again I really appreciate it.

Just cast the vote. Your mother sounds like a very courageous and unselfish individual. The world needs more heros like your mother. I wish you and your family all of the best.

Take care - Scott

Happy to help Josh. I hope she wins. All the best to you and your family.
