Mother’s Day is one of the more special days on Major League Baseball’s calendar. Throughout the day’s slate of games, an abundance of pink can be found at ballparks across the country to help spread awareness for breast cancer.
Many players sport pink batting gloves and wristbands. Several stepped into the batter’s box with pink baseball bats similar to these. Others wore shoes with pink on them, like Gio Gonzalez of the Washington Nationals, who took the mound for his start against the Oakland A’s wearing these.
Then there was Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez, who, as you can see above, dyed his goatee. For some it’s probably a bit much, but it’s better to see Gomez immersing himself in the spirit of the day rather than sparking dugout-clearing brawls.
