Mike Trout's best friend and Jess Trout's brother, Aaron Cox, was lost to suicide in August of 2018. Since that tragic day, the Trouts have learned that struggles with suicide and mental health are far too common amongst all communities.

For quite a while now, Tiny Turnip has been receiving inquiries regarding ordering custom gear as seen on players’ family and friends. We have now launched a new section on the website where all customers can choose the style, artwork, team, size, etc. and order their very own custom pieces complete with their favorite player’s name and number on the back!

It’s that time of year when MLB players' families and fans alike head to the MLB All-Star Game! Every year it is in a new location and this year it will be held in Seattle, Washington!

September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, and this year Tiny Turnip is proud to be partnering with BDF and Major League Baseball players and their families across the league, led by the Burnes and the Haders, to raise funds and awareness for BDFs mission to best POSITION each “Baller” (what BDF calls patients in its program) to WIN his or her fight with cancer. The Crawford family, their team and many families across the league will join in this collaboration to help these families be in a Position to Win.

Our mission is to create a lifelong love of sports.  Like all of you, we were heartbroken to witness the events in Ukraine over the last two weeks. We needed to do something to help, so we decided to use our resources to create a brand new design collection solely in support of the people of Ukraine, and, as always, we will donate 100% of profits from this collection to help support a worthy cause - in this case The Voices of Children Charitable Foundation. 

Pediatric cancer has always tugged at the hearts of the Crawford family. This cause has touched us personally with close family and friends. Our angels help us continue to fight to help prevent other families going through hardships that come with pediatric cancer.  

As you may or may not know, I lost my brother in 2018 to suicide. Over the past few years since that tragic day, I’ve learned that struggles with mental health are far too common. In the United States, almost half of adults will experience a mental health illness during their lifetime. Yet the stigmas attached to them cause many of these people to suffer in silence, which can be debilitating and even deadly. This is why Mike & I continue to partner with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and help raise awareness for the many Americans who may feel alone in their struggles. You are NEVER alone.
