Between the fifth and sixth innings of Game 4, fans, players, coaches, umpires and broadcasters stood with signs about who they're standing for.

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — Regardless of the World Series outcome, Nationals and Astros fans will remember a special moment from Saturday night.

In between the fifth and sixth innings, everyone around the ballpark joined together to raise awareness for the cancer-battling organization Stand Up To Cancer.

The organization and Major League Baseball have been partnered for a long time, but this was a first in terms of putting it front and center during such a prominent moment.
