Toronto Blue Jay players, coaches and family members were screened for skin cancer in July as the Canadian Dermatology Association teamed with the American League baseball team in an attempt to increase awareness of the disease. The association says that a million new cases are diagnosed annually in North America, with melanoma alone claiming 7700 lives. The association says ball players are at particular risk for skin cancer because of the amount of time they spend in direct sunlight.
