White Sox honor Honorary Bat Girl Huffmaster

(AP) Huffmaster was on the field for Mother's Day to be recognized as the White Sox winner of Major League Baseball's Honorary Bat Girl contest, which recognizes baseball fans who have been affected by breast cancer and who demonstrate a commitment to eradicating the disease. She was nominated for this honor by her brother-in-law, John Running, but was surprised upon finding out she won.
The two-time breast cancer survivor is a die-hard White Sox fan and was looking forward to meeting everyone and anyone. The lone minor problem was her favorite player, Paul Konerko, retired at the end of last season.
