DETROIT -- Yvette Jones doesn't mind waiting a week before throwing out the first pitch as the Mariners' 2018 Honorary Bat Girl since Seattle was on the road on Mother's Day on Sunday.
But Jones has a message for women of all ages: Don't wait to get a mammogram.
Jones was selected as the Mariners representative in MLB's "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer" initiative. And she speaks from personal experience.
The resident of Milton, Wash., had a mammogram in February at the insistence of her husband after her sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer.
