OAKLAND -- The A's traded in their green and gold threads for some baby blues on Saturday against the Yankees, as MLB promotes prostate cancer awareness on Father's Day weekend. In a growing initiative, teams around the league donned blue jerseys, caps and gear that will eventually be sold or auctioned to benefit Prostate Cancer Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer.
"It's great," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "Baseball's been really good, probably the last four or five years, of not only giving it a day but giving it a weekend for the awareness. It sinks in a little bit more, I think.
