The Major League Baseball always tries to connect with fans in multiple ways and on special days, like Mother’s Day, league players often wear pink shoes, socks, caps or bats to honor all the moms.

The pink color is a special edition for some days of the year that the MLB uses not only for Mother’s Day but to raise awareness during celebrations and commemorations that are directly connected to women .

The first time that players wore pink with their uniforms was in 2001, at that time it was not something that the MLB did but that the players had to ask permission to wear pink during Mother’s Day.
