Northeast Missouri Baseball team shows their support for Debbie Catlett

NORTHEAST MISSOURI UNDER 11 BASEBALL TEAM GOES BALD FOR NUMBER ONE FAN

Great story to leave you with tonight from Little League Baseball....

You are looking at the Under-11 Dirtbags of Northeast Missouri...And you will note all these handsome young fellows are sporting the Chris Duerr haircut of choice. Actually, these kids from Palmyra, Hannibal, Kahoka, Canton, and one from Camp Point Illinois have voluntarily shaved their heads in honor of one of their biggest fans. Debbie Catlett is a grandmother of one of the players on the team and she has begun Chemotherapy in the treatment of Breast Cancer. To show their solidarity, the boys and the coaches shaved their heads and then went to the Boys of Summer Baseball event in Cedar Rapids and also happened to go 6-0 in the tourney.

By the way, kudos to Sarah Wilson of the Loft in Hannibal for shaving all 18 of those heads....
