CLEVELAND -- When Alecia Dennis learned she had won the 2015 Honorary Bat Girl Contest for the Cleveland Indians, she was speechless.
When she learned she'd be throwing out the first pitch on Mother's Day, she became nervous.
"What if I bounce it?"
Dennis, 26, was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2014. A lumpectomy followed in November. Chemo started on Mondays -- the same day she takes classes at Capital University, where she's working on her MBA. All the while, she and her husband of nearly three years -- Colin -- raise their 1 1/2-year-old son, Colton.
