The shirts are all over Twitter, and have peppered the seats of Busch Stadium all season. On the front, a backwards K, the symbol of a looking strikeout in baseball books. Stretched out below it, the word cancer. On the inside is a quote from Roberto Clemente, reading, “Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don't, then you are wasting your time on Earth.”

Days removed from seeing his K-Cancer efforts recognized with a league-wide “Strikeout Cancer Day”, Jason Motte has been nominated as the St. Louis Cardinals representative for the 2014 Roberto Clemente Award.
