DENVER -- The message touched Rockies pitcher Jon Gray's heart and his head: Children are going through medical procedures that cost them their hair. And he had lots of it -- until Tuesday afternoon.
On the Rockies' Facebook Live feed -- and with a room full of local media watching -- Gray had eight inches of his long, blond hair cut off for a donation to Locks of Love -- a public, non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children age 21 and younger who have medical long-term hair loss. The cut took place in the interview room at Coors Field.
