Mother’s Day 2020: Last-minute gift ideas for your favorite Dodgers fan

Mother’s Day is coming this Sunday, May 10, so there’s still time to give mom the gift she really wants this year. Forget the flowers, ditch the chocolates. Give mom the gift of baseball, in the form of Dodgers apparel.

Flowers, you see, look wonderful in the moment, a beautiful snapshot in time. But within a few days they start to wilt, and by the time a week or two has passed, those flowers are dead, or close to it. Functionally, this is a terrible gift. You can’t look back years from now to a vase at your mom’s house and say, “Hey, those are the flowers I got you a few years ago,” because those flowers are long gone.

But a t-shirt with both Cody Bellinger and Mookie Betts? Mom can wear that for years to come. And what better to buy such a shirt now, considering Betts might sign elsewhere as a free agent this winter. Give your mom something to remember him by.

However, should Betts decide to stay in Los Angeles and re-sign with the Dodgers, your mom can be proud that you had the foresight to get her in on the ground floor with such wonderful merchandise. Something a mother can be proud of.
