CHICAGO -- Molly Oliver has been a Cubs fan her entire life, and the 30-year-old legal assistant had a dream-like day Sunday, meeting the players and taking the lineup card out at Wrigley Field. She credited her late sister Grace for the perfect weather.
Oliver was a winner of Major League Baseball's Honorary Bat Girl Contest, which recognizes baseball fans who have been affected by breast cancer and who demonstrate a commitment to supporting the fight against the disease.
Oliver's younger sister, Grace, was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor, and she died last summer. Prior to Grace's passing, Molly learned that she had breast cancer, but she kept her diagnosis private until two weeks after the funeral.
