Happy Mother’s Day to the Baseball Moms
⚾️🌸⚾️🌸🌸⚾️🌸🌸🌸⚾️🌸🌸⚾️🌸⚾️
The women surviving on caffeine, concession stand nachos,
and whatever patience is left after long game nights.
To the moms who come home with
a shoe full of White Park gravel,
dust in the car,
and enough dirt in the laundry room
to start their own infield.
You carry chairs, snacks, and everything needed for a game night,
and you know the batting lineup better than your own schedule
and can spot your kid’s stance from three fields away.
You also serve as the equipment manager for your own player,
the one who remembers the helmet, the bat, the glove…
and somehow still ends up searching the car, the dugout, and the driveway
for the one thing that got left behind anyway.
You cheer loud, stress quietly,
and pretend to stay calm
when someone says,
“Hey Mom… I forgot my glove.”
You’ve learned that baseball weather means
freezing in the evening, sunburned by the first inning,
and somehow sitting in swirling dust by the last out.
But through every strikeout, rally, bad call,
and double header,
you show up every single time,
not because it’s easy, or organized, or quiet,
but because you love them in every messy, dusty, unforgettable moment of it.
Happy Mother’s Day
to the baseball moms,
the real MVPs behind the fences
with a shoe full of White Park gravel
and hearts completely full. ⚾💙
