Today, all teams across Major League Baseball will be raising awareness for a very important cause.
September 2 is Childhood Cancer Awareness Day in baseball.
For each game, every team and every on-field personnel will wear gold bracelets and decals to celebrate this day, including players, coaches, and umpires.
This is the seventh consecutive year that MLB has held Childhood Cancer Awareness Day.
Major League Baseball began raising awareness to this event back in 2016.
They have again chosen to honor children with cancer on this all-important day, recognizing and understanding the impact of childhood cancer on children and their families.

MLB Holds Childhood Cancer Awareness Day
This is an important day on the MLB schedule.
It’s important to understand childhood cancer and how it affects the lives of not only children who are battling cancer, but their family and loved ones as well.
Cancer is a disease that affects everybody involved, and it’s nice that MLB is taking the time to honor children that may be fighting it and stand with them in the midst of their important battle.
Sports can always provide a nice distraction from the struggles people face in life and all of the issues plaguing the world, especially cancer.
It gives those fighting it and their loved ones a chance to take a little break from all of the stress around the situation.
It’s nice to see baseball recognize its important role in society, to be somewhat of a distraction from the real world and take time to show their appreciation for children who have been battling this terrible disease.
It’s a nice way of letting these children know that they stand with them and that they’re not alone in their fight.
