Most children take their mothers out to dinner, send flowers, or just do something nice for their mom on Mother's Day. San Diego Padres catcher Jorge Alfaro just goes yard on command.

After being subbed in to pinch hit in the bottom of the ninth inning, Jorge Alfaro would hammer Miami Marlins closer Cole Sulser's pitch into the seats in no doubt fashion.

Earlier in the day, Alfaro had sent his mother flowers for Mother's Day and followed up the delivery with a phone call. While on the phone, Alfaro's mother would manifest the destiny of her son's late-game plate appearance. “If you're not playing just be ready,” she said. “You're gonna hit a home run today.” Alfaro would respond and tell his mother “Mom, that's hard to do.”

Just a few hours later, Alfaro would make it look easy.

More ironically, the Marlins just so happen to be the former team of Alfaro, who was purchased from Miami by the Padres back in November for cash considerations. One can only imagine the small bit of retribution Alfaro had felt walking it off in such a fashion, and giving the Marlins their seventh loss in their last eight games. Prior to the gift-wrapped dinger, Alfaro had a .222 batting average with a .608 OPS, one home run, three runs, four RBIs, and one stolen base in 51 plate appearances. Most of which in relief of the Padres usual starting catch Austin Nola.

Alfaro's memorable home run just goes to show you that momma always knows best.
