Mothers Lose 10th Annual MLB Mother's Day Game 24-2

COOPERSTOWN—Mothers of current major-leaguers lost their 10th consecutive Mother’s Day game by a score of 24-2 Sunday, the most resounding win by MLB players in the yearly matchup since 1999. “My mom and I haven’t gotten together in a quite while, so it was so nice to see her, especially when I blew a 95 mph fastball past her to win the game,” Josh Beckett said following the game, in which he recorded 13 strikeouts and one walk. “We always go easy on them, but when A-Rod’s mom was showboating after she hit a double in the sixth, I had to plunk her the next time she got up. Just a part of the game.” Though the mothers’ team put up subpar numbers, Mrs. Weaver’s solid seven-inning pitching performance caught the attention of Mariners’ GM Bill Bavasi, who is reportedly considering her as a possible replacement for struggling starter Jeff Weaver.
