CLEVELAND -- The Twins and Indians took part in Major League Baseball's league-wide effort to build awareness about prostate cancer and raise funds for research to fight the disease in Sunday's Father's Day finale at Progressive Field.

During Father's Day games, players and on-field personnel wore the symbolic blue ribbon on their uniforms along with blue wristbands. Also, for the third consecutive season, players wore specially designed light blue caps with the team color on the brim. Players also had the option to wear multi-pattern blue-dyed socks as well as a special hooded fleece during batting practice.

"With the baseball season spanning as long as it does, we get to play on a lot of different types of days," Twins manager Paul Molitor said.
