Cubs players, coaches, and fans had their heads shaved today and raised over $12,000 for pediatric cancer research. This is something Maddon brought with him from Tampa Bay. More than 20 players participated by donating $100 to have their heads shaved and get a "Respect Bald" T-shirt.
The players that participated included: Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, Jorge Soler, Phil Coke, Drake Britton, Mike Olt, Chris Denorfia, Matt Szczur, Ryan Sweeney, Felix Doubront, Justin Grimm, Chris Coghlan, Edwin Jackson, Welington Castillo, Neil Ramirez and Starlin Castro.
Here are some photos from the fundraiser:
