During the sixth inning of Game 4, fans and players stood for roughly a minute holding placards that read “I stand up for” with the name of a person, family or group of people affected by cancer written in the blank space.
Some folks held up one placard, others held up two and even three.
On his placard, Astros manager A.J. Hinch wrote the name of Cameron Gooch and his family. Cameron was a 10-year-old Astros fan who died of cancer last year. Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Cameron became an Astros player for a day, met the team, and Hinch later paid a special visit to his fourth-grade class.
Since then, the league has participated in awareness campaigns like the moment of silence during the World Series that’s held every year between the fifth and sixth innings of Game 4.
