St. Baldrick's

As we enter the month of March, a few important events come to mind.  St. Patrick’s Day, spring training, and St. Baldrick’s Day, just to name a few.  The Chicago White Sox have always been extremely involved in giving back to the community and helping out charities in any way they can.  From their split the pot raffles at every home game to the wives of current players sponsoring a food drive, the White Sox are involved in improving the lives of others. 

More recently, White Sox starting pitcher, John Danks, once again shaved his head for the St. Baldrick’s foundation.  According to a story by Sox beat writer, Scott Merkin, titled “Danks goes clean-shaven for a great cause” Merkin describes how close to home cancer hits for Danks.  His cousin was diagnosed with leukemia and is now in remission.  Danks believes that his small action of having a teammate shave his head can have a major impact on the cancer foundations.  He said, “this isn’t any big deal, it’s the least I could do.”  The actions of these players has a tremendous impact on charities of all kinds.
