PHOENIX -- It's been a year since D-backs president Derrick Hall and advisor Luis Gonzalez had their graying beards shaved because of the fight against cancer.
Many men in the D-backs front office grow their beards during the month of November. Friday morning was their third annual shave off, sponsored by the University of Arizona Cancer Center and Dignity Health, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center. The D-backs donated $35,000 to find a cure.
The D-backs have been particularly plagued by many forms of the disease, and the past 365 calendar days haven't been that kind to their family.
