For The Love Of Pink

  

…And On WAKA Wednesdays We Wear Pink.  As October is best known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our faithful Hampton Roads WAKA teams all pulled through, and showed their support wearing pink in all shapes and fashions to the field and bar this past Wednesday. The pink ribbon has been a symbol since 1991 for this cause, and was chosen because of its close affiliation with femininity.  

 

 The color pink is not only correlated with beauty, love, and romanticism, but its origin in the 17^th century came from the actual flower of the same name.   Hint, hint to all you WAKA promposal people.

 

More importantly we have an awesome League Social Event Coordinator, Fagel Baer who makes all the events we participate in extra special, and that makes all the difference in the world, especially as an active participant herself in pink attire.  Love the tutu! 

And not to show favoritism because I am on this team…well…maybe I am, but Hot dogs and Tacos showed  spirit, not only through the traditional pink team color, but through additional pink attire and accessories both on the field and at the bar.   Our three team captains Jeremy Smithey, Talbert Dunn, and Mike Kern are really a phenomenal trifecta who orchestrated our team’s pink coordination, and even though we may not have won, our team spirit is always spectacular!  

 

Now runner up for WAKA Wears Pink, was most certainly Foul Balls.  Although not everyone wore pink, this team consistently shows its comradery at the bar and on the field together,  in addition to having a pretty decent season overall.  With Andreas Beyersdorf , Joe Preseault, Amelia Harveycutter, and Derrek Patterson leading the way, this team portrays the expression, “In the Pink,”  as  they continue  to remain in top form and good condition overall.  

 

Another great pink siting included the Team Rumspringa, who most definitely matched their WAKA fashion with their incredible games they played.  As this team remains one of the top 6 teams in the league, their great attitudes and amazing team fashion are well noticed.  

As we close out our WAKA Pink Fashion Blog for the week, don’t forget to pull out your pink threads this upcoming weekend for our big Charity Tournament as well as the Tight and Bright Party at Manhattan’s.  Even if you’re not playing, come support your team league members, and remember, be happy and be pink!
