Some people celebrate Mother's Day by going out to brunch with their moms, sending them a card or buying them flowers. Bryce Harper chose to give his mom her flowers when celebrating a home run on Sunday.

The Phillies outfielder launched a homer with his pink bat off Mets' starter Max Scherzer in the first inning of the Philadelphia-New York clash on Sunday. After crossing home plate, Harper looked into the TV camera and said, "I love you mom!"

Harper has not been the only MLB player to celebrate their mom on Sunday. Yankees' outfielder Aaron Judge began Sunday's matchup against the Rangers wearing bright pink socks and some unique cleats, though he wound up changing his socks after he failed to reach base in his first at-bat.
