Over the last couple of days, more and more players and coaches have been walking around the Indians’ clubhouse with a shaved head. It started with Jason Kipnis, Nick Swisher and a few others. Now, everyone has joined in.
It’s for Mike Aviles’ 4-year-old daughter, Adriana, who was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this month. Aviles was away from the team for a week and a half as he spent time with his family after learning the news.
Adriana will be starting chemo-therapy soon, which means she’ll be losing her hair. To show their support, Aviles’ teammates are cutting it all away.
