Autism Awareness Games Scheduled for Around the Area

Major League Baseball is teaming up with Autism Speaks (www.autismspeaks.org), the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization, in a league-wide effort to recognize Autism Awareness Month in April. All 30 MLB Clubs will raise awareness for the disorder during one home game in April, or on another date during the regular season. Many of the MLB autism awareness games throughout the league will provide special opportunities and a safe, friendly environment for families and individuals affected by autism. Working with Autism Speaks or other autism awareness organizations, many Clubs will recognize local families during pre-game ceremonies, and members of the autism community will participate in various traditional baseball activities, including throwing out the first pitch, singing the National Anthem, announcing “Play Ball!,” singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” or performing “God Bless America.”
