Baseball equipment gets stranger each day

Are my eyes deceiving me or does it also look to you like the Tigers' Alexis Gomez has a pink ribbon tied around his bat in this photo?

If you take a closer look at it, you can see it's something of an optical illusion. But maybe I need new glasses. The light, she's playing tricks on me.

Or perhaps I was influenced by the article accompanying the photo, in which Jim Leyland said he didn't want his team to "be tiptoeing out there."
