Mike’s Past Tours
Due to the COVID-19 crisis and MLB games being postponed, we will be taking a celebratory look back at the past 25 years of HRC Tours from June 1 through Father’s Day (June 21).
A Special Thank You

Major League Baseball and the Prostate Cancer Foundation have been partners since 1996.
Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, and the 4th most common tumor diagnosed worldwide.
In 2022, nearly 269,000 U.S. men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 34,000 will die from the disease. That’s one new case diagnosed every 2 minutes and another death from prostate cancer every 15 minutes.
In the United States, 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. For Black men, 1 in 6 will develop the disease.
Black men are about 75% more likely to develop prostate cancer than Caucasian men, and are more than twice as likely to die from the disease.
A non-smoking man is more likely to develop prostate cancer than he is to develop colon, bladder, melanoma, lymphoma and kidney cancers combined.
It is estimated that more than 3 million U.S. men are living with prostate cancer.
As men increase in age, their risk of developing prostate cancer increases exponentially. About 6 in 10 cases are found in men over the age of 65.
Prostate cancer can be silent — it’s important to get checked, even if you have no symptoms.
Men with relatives—father, brother, son—with a history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease.
