NY Yankees Name
Honorary Bat Girl
Major League Baseball has
announced the 2019 Honorary
Bat Girls for each MLB Club
in support of the annual “Going
To Bat Against Breast Cancer”
initiative, which is traditionally
commemorated each
Mother’s Day.
Clubs had the opportunity
to hand-select their respective
honorees, each of whom
demonstrated an extraordinary
commitment to the battle
against breast cancer. The
Honorary Bat Girl for the New
York Yankees is Orisel Bejaran
from Washington
Heights,
N.Y.
Orisel is a lifelong
Yankees fan
and breast cancer
survivor. She was
diagnosed with
Stage 2 HER2+
breast cancer in
2018 at the age of
31, and decided to
tackle it head-on
by immediately
going to NewYork-
Presbyterian/
Columbia University
Irving Medical
Center to meet
with Drs. Lisa Weichmann and
Melissa Accordino. Unfortunately,
she is not the fi rst member
of her family to battle cancer,
as her mom and three of
her aunts are also survivors.
‘Ori’ found that watching her
Yankees play - whether at the
stadium or on TV - brought
much needed comfort and joy,
and she has no doubts that
watching her favorite team
