Drew Butera Pays Up on Deal, Lets Fan Dagan Dye Hair Pink After Beating Cancer

Kansas City Royals catcher Drew Butera is a man of his word.

As the Royals shared in a video, Butera made a deal with a young fan named Dagan that if the latter beat cancer he could dye the catcher's hair whatever color he wanted. Butera made the deal when Dagan was going through chemotherapy at the hospital, but he is now cancer free:
