The Tug McGraw Foundation (www.tugmcgraw.org) is a California 501(c) (3) organization that was founded by former Major League Baseball player Tug McGraw prior to his untimely death in January, 2004 from brain cancer. Tug, whose career spanned 21 years with the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, formed the organization to fulfill his vision to help brain tumor survivors and their families to live well through the funding of pioneering neuro-oncology quality of life research and to raise public awareness about brain cancer.
A bit of baseball trivia:
What do Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig have in common?
They were both struck out by a GIRL!
On April 2, 1931, 17-year-old Jackie Mitchell,
while playing for the AA Minor Division Chattanooga Lookouts, struck out BOTH the “Sultan of Swat” and “The Iron Horse” – BACK TO BACK – in an exhibition game.
A few days later, Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis voided Mitchell's contract,
claiming that baseball was "too strenuous" for a woman.
