Cubs' players have some new pink accessories in honor of Mother's Day.
They wore wrist bands and ribbons as part of Major League Baseball's "Project Pink" that raises awareness about breast cancer.
Pink bats and bases we also used in play as a reminder that early detection is key in fighting the disease.
The Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program offers free early detection tests.

Bottle warmers recalled
About 5,000 deluxe bottle and food warmers, manufactured in
China by Munchkin Inc., pulled back because they can overheat,
posing a risk of fire. The company has received nine reports of
warmers overheating, including several that caught fire. No
injuries were reported. The warmers were sold in the company's
catalog and by a variety of retailers around the country between
June 2007 and April 2008.
