Although it is an event celebrated worldwide with different dates in any part of the planet, today, Sunday, May 8, is Mother’s Day in most of America and other countries, and in the MLB has not just sat back and played like any other day: they have made their presence felt as a league and among players, to recognize the important role that all of our mothers play throughout our lives.
In this article we bring you the reactions, tributes and messages that have been sent by the major leagues entity as well as several renowned players within it, through social networks and demonstrations on the field of play.
Mother’s Day in the MLB
Let’s start with Bryce Harper, the reigning National League MVP and Philadelphia Phillies superstar. After hitting a ball out of the ballpark against the New York Mets, under Max Scherzer’s delivery, he sent a message to the cameras exclusively to his mother, as well as honoring her with the design of his cleats.
On the other hand, in the American League, Mike Trout was one of the main ambassadors with his message on social networks, in addition to being completely involved in the theme through his uniform, as captured through several moments today.
New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole had a video message for his wife and his mother, and in addition had an excellent outing against the Texas Rangers, allowing just one run in 6.1 innings pitched, along with 10 strikeouts.
His teammate Aaron Judge also had a way of standing out, with probably the best design of the entire holiday on his cleats, which have been praised all over social media.
Love could be felt across all divisions of the major leagues. Mother’s Day is an unbeatable occasion to celebrate with more passion one of the most important members of anyone’s life, whether they are still with us. Rowdy Tellez made a tribute to his mother, who passed away in 2018, through his cleats. The Milwaukee Brewers slugger had one of the most poignant moments through his action.
And of course, Latinos were more than present in this celebration of their mothers, with too many publications to compile them all in this article. We will try to do our best not to lose sight of the most outstanding ones, but we will always miss one or another with the amount that we had today. This one is, indeed, a large-scale celebration for baseball.
From JefeBet, we send our congratulations and our most sincere affection to all those mothers who deserve to be celebrated for being beings of life, love, and strength above all things. Thank you for always being with us through all possible means. Happy day!
