Diamondbacks rock a lighter shade of red for Mother’s Day

The Arizona Diamondbacks opted for the Mother’s Day pink on Sunday during their match up against the Washington Nationals.

While some teams just went pink with the accessories, the D-backs rocked full pink hats, pink socks and pink lettering on the jersey.

It wasn’t much of a switch from the typical red lettering, just a few shades lighter.

Their opponents, the Nationals, were also rocking pink hats for the occasion.

The D-backs introduced four specialty Mother’s Day items ranging from burgers, dipped apples, frozen yogurt and a raspberry basil spritzer.

Prior to Sunday’s 5:05 p.m. first pitch, the first 10,000 mothers at the stadium recieved a Mother’s Day tote bag.
