As the cameras panned on the uniformed rsonnel who held up the familiar "I STAND FOR" placards around the ballpark, everyone saw Hinch dedicate the moment to the former Major League general manager of the Padres (1995-2009) and D-backs (2010-14). Towers was diagnosed with Anaplastic thyroid cancer, a rare case, in December after the Winter Meetings.
"Obviously it's a moment that is special to all of our hearts, from the people that are on the card and also people around the country," Hinch said after the Dodgers topped the Astros, 6-2, in Game 4 on Saturday. "And it's a great initiative that Major League Baseball started years ago, and will continue to be a way for us to bring awareness for people who suffer from cancer.
"In my particular instance, I've been in baseball a long time. He [Towers] means a lot to me. He's meant a lot to the people within the game for many, many years. He's done everything in the game. I wanted to put someone on there that was a baseball person that has resonated across the game at so many levels for so many years, and we just keep rooting for KT to have a recovery."
This marks the 10th year of MLB's relationship with Stand Up To Cancer as a founding donor. MLB and all 30 clubs work with SU2C and other organizations in a year-round effort to drive awareness and use the SU2C model to direct funds to Dream Team members of the medical-science community. Progress is constant, but so is the random diagnosis of cancer.
The Stand Up To Cancer in-game moment has happened in every All-Star Game and in one game of every World Series since its debut in 2009 in Philadelphia. This was No. 17
