Fans and players of Major League Baseball (MLB) wore pink, giving the stadiums a warm glow on Sunday as part of the Mother's Day celebrations. Uniforms, caps, bats, gloves, bags, balls and even some decorations on the umpires were colored pink.

MLB's Mother's Day celebrations changed in 2006 when the famous baseball producer Louisville Slugger started to prepare pink bats for the event, echoing the silk ribbon for breast cancer patients. Since then, pink has started to appear on more and more items, making Mother's Day just as important as Father's Day for the league.

It wasn't all just decoration as there was a Mother's Day miracle to the diamond. On May 9, 2010, Dallas Brandon, an obscure starting pitcher of the Oakland Athletics made 27 outs in a row during the game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, creating the 19th Perfect Game in the in MLB's 107-year history. Afterwards, Brandon hugged his grandmother who came to watch his game and dedicated this game to his mother who had passed away from cancer.

Baseball has been considered a sport of "going home". A batter starts from the home plate, passes three bases before finally returning to the home plate. Unlike basketball and football players that score by shooting against an opponent, baseball players score by getting "safe at home". MLB also pays more attention to charitable events, and, besides for Hall of Famers, veterans, teachers, drivers, nurses and other regular people are invited to make a game's first pitch and enjoy the cheers from fans.

During the World Series and All Star Games, MLB will always have an event called "Stand Up to Cancer", during which everyone in the stadium - including the players, coaches, staff and crowd - stands up with a piece of paper that has the name of a person in their life that is fighting cancer written on it, showing their support for these people.
