MLB has traditionally done a good job of incorporating Mother's Day themes into players' gameday attires, whether it's the pink bats or pink gear for the players to wear. But, the Boston Red Sox found their own creative way to make Mother's Day even better.

Not only did Red Sox players sport pink on their jerseys, cleats and gloves, but the team also made an awesome gesture in the clubhouse, changing the first names on each player's locker to their mother's first name.

Check out a photo of the Red Sox clubhouse, which was posted onto the team's account on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Red Sox definitely win in terms of Mother's Day celebrations. Their fans are hoping the club can secure a win on the diamond as well. If Boston wins over the Nationals on Sunday, then the Red Sox will take the series 2–1.
