Check out Dusty Baker's customized Mother's Day wristbands

By Matt Monagan

Sure, players honored their mothers on Mother's Day by wearing pink arm or wristbands. Some ever wore sleeves decorated in bouquets of flowers. But, note for next year, if you REALLY want to honor dear old mom, you should just get her likeness stiched onto your celebratory gear.
Not possible, you say? Nationals manager Dusty Baker begs to differ:

According to MLB.com's Jamal Collier, Baker's friend, James Mims, made the wristbands and has been making them for him (and many others) since the 1980's. As to how Dusty's mom feels about them?
"I sent her a pair, so maybe she might wear them out in Sacramento."
Let's hope so.
