SAN FRANCISCO — In the biggest moments on the baseball field, Buster Posey is unflappable as it gets. But he couldn’t keep from breaking down Wednesday while discussing a cause very near and dear to his heart.
Posey and his wife Kristen held a press conference at AT&T Park to announce plans to make pediatric cancer a primary focus of their philanthropic efforts. The Poseys, with the help of the Giants and New Era, are working to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research and treatment.
Buster said this became a focus for his family when Kristen met a family who has a son, Cannon, who is only four days older than the couple’s twins but is fighting cancer.
