Today we remember Don Hooton, an @MLB partner since 2005 who has passed away at 76.  The Hooton family’s @TheTHF, in memory of their son Taylor, has taught numerous students about the dangers of performance and appearance-enhancing substances.

Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred said: “Don Hooton was a tireless advocate for educating young people about the dangers of performance and appearance-enhancing drugs. For more than two decades, Major League Baseball was proud to partner with Don and his family in advancing this important mission. His dedication made a lasting impact on our sport and on countless young people across the country. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my deepest condolences to the entire Hooton family.”

Last Thursday, the @American_Heart and the @whitesox welcomed nearly 100 Chicago-area fifth graders from Hatch Elementary School to Rate Field for training in Hands-Only CPR and AED awareness.

The Nation of Lifesavers initiative advances the American Heart Association’s goal of equipping more people with the knowledge and confidence to respond to sudden cardiac arrest. The Association and MLB have collaborated on this work since 2023.

Pat Murphy of the #WorldSeries Champion @Brewers: “I wasn't afraid to learn. I wasn't afraid to be wrong. I wasn't afraid to stick my foot in my mouth. I'm still continuing to do that from time to time.

“But it's acting in spite of that fear and keeping going that enables you to then think about, hey, Cooperstown will remember the 2026 Brewers.”

Willie Mays #WorldSeries MVP William Contreras, who won both the World Baseball Classic and the Fall Classic in 2026:

“I love this game. I love this sport. When I go out there, I give everything. I put my body on the line. I do whatever it takes to win because I love it.

“All the people back in Venezuela mean a tremendous amount to me. So I'm very happy what I'm able to accomplish for them and hopefully inspire them.”
