ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays honored Dorothy Campbell of New Port Richey as their Honorary Bat Girl for 2015 prior to Sunday's series finale against the Rangers.
"It's a really cool honor," Campbell said. "We've been life-long baseball people. My grandmother got me involved in baseball coming down here to see the Clearwater Phillies. We relocated from Philadelphia just to do that."
Every year, Major League Baseball recognizes baseball fans who have been affected by breast cancer and who demonstrate a commitment to eradicating the disease.
Campbell, who was nominated by her family, was diagnosed in 2010 with breast cancer.
