In celebration of Mother’s Day and Major League Baseball’s annual “Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer” initiative, the Chicago White Sox recognized Lesley Shworles as an Honorary Bat Girl during a home game this past May. The day of acknowledgment, made possible by a nomination from her daughter, Miranda, commended Shworles for her unwavering commitment to those in need, while applauding her fight and ongoing support against this terrible disease.
