‘4MOM’: Mariner center fielder Braden Bishop raises awareness for his mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s

Bishop didn’t know much about Alzheimer’s when his mom, Suzy, 55, was diagnosed, but he has become an amateur expert since. He is dedicated to educating other people in hopes of eradicating the disease. He and other players will donate money for research for each hit they get this season.

PEORIA, Ariz. — Center fielder Braden Bishop remembers the whiteboards in his mother’s office.

He marveled at how organized they were. It was a reminder of how Mom ascended toward the top of the entertainment industry and became an Emmy-winning television producer that helped launch shows such as Law & Order and Jag.
