DENVER -- While Brewers players swung pink bats and donned pink caps, socks, spikes and every other accessory imaginable for Mother's Day, one fan awaited her day in the baseball spotlight.
Nichole Kutmas, a middle school teacher from New Berlin, Wis., is the Brewers' Honorary Bat Girl as part of Major League Baseball's annual "Going To Bat Against Breast Cancer" initiative. Since the Brewers were on the road for Mother's Day on Sunday, they will honor Kutmas when they return to Miller Park on May 21 against the D-backs.
She was nominated by ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis, an organization founded and grounded in Milwaukee that creates connections between breast cancer survivors and patients, families and friends who need support.
