R-Phils logo across the chest, sewn on numbers, a pink ribbon sewn on the left sleeve and the Minor League Baseball logo sewn on the yoke.
The first 2,000 women 18 and older will receive a pink and white R-Phils pop-up umbrella thanks to the Shoppes at Wyomissing.
In addition to the Mother's Day festivities, every Sunday is a Dollar Dog Day thanks to Berks Packing and Stroehmann's. Plus, all fans can run the bases after the game thanks to 69 News Berks Edition.
