Padres to celebrate honorary bat girl

PHOENIX -- Ana Munoz is the Honorary Bat Girl for the San Diego Padres and will be recognized by the club prior to its next home game on Thursday night against the Nationals at Petco Park.

Major League Baseball announced the winners for each club Sunday as part of the Pink Bat Mother's Day initiative. The contest recognizes baseball fans, who've been affected by breast cancer and demonstrate a commitment to eradicating the disease.

Like all of the other 29 winners, Munoz will receive pink MLB merchandise and will be hosted at the game with her family.
