TFW your paycheck hits, you feel the tension evaporating from your neck and shoulders, and you can close the 2 dozen tabs you had open to various shopping carts that you'd aspirationally filled just to get you through the week.

For one night only, the Mississippi Mud Monsters will be the Blue Ballers, raising awareness of prostate and testicular cancer. Minor League Baseball rules.

Blue Ballers jerseyThe Mud Monsters begin the penultimate homestand of the season by wearing
specialty blue jerseys created to bring attention to prostate and testicular cancer awareness, the importance of early detection and conversations that people sometimes find far too easy to avoid.
"The jerseys are going to be loud, blue and impossible to miss, and that is exactly the point," said Andrew Seymour, General Manager of the Mississippi Mud Monsters.
"Prostate and testicular cancer are serious subjects, but talking about them does not have to feel cold or uncomfortable. Baseball gives us a chance to open that conversation in a way that feels welcoming, memorable and maybe even a little weird. If someone leaves the ballpark more willing to ask a question, make an appointment or check in on someone they love, then the night has done something important."
