#TogetherforBettis and #BettisBrave were two hashtags that surfaced Monday as many prominent baseball players and organizations showed their support for Rockies pitcher for testicular cancer.
Bettis was diagnosed with testicular cancer in late November. Following surgery, Bettis seemed to be in the clear after a blood test revealed that he was cancer free. But another test March 10 revealed that his cancer was not gone.
Though he hopes to be back later this season for Colorado, he is out indefinitely.
The Rockies, the MLB and fans in and out of state showed their support for Bettis on Twitter.
Here are a few:
