NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Red Sox manager John Farrell feels fortunate each day that his non- Hodgkin's lymphoma was caught early enough that he was deemed cancer-free two months later, and he expects to be back in the dugout next season.
But others aren't so lucky, and the Red Sox have again joined MLB's cause to increase awareness and funds via the Stand Up To Cancer initiative.
The Red Sox have offered not only an autographed item from David Ortiz, but also a meet-and-greet with the legendary Big Papi.
Another compelling auction item is the ability to take the lineup card out to home plate before a game at Fenway Park.
