Jorge Alfaro crushed a walk-off HR on Mother’s Day shortly after his mom told him he would

Padres catcher Jorge Alfaro and his mom had a Mother’s Day yesterday that they’ll never forget.

Before Sunday’s game Alfaro saw that he wasn’t in the lineup for series finale at home against the Marlins. Like a good son he called his mom to wish her a happy Mother’s Day and she had a message for him:

“If you’re not in the lineup, just be ready, you’re going to hit a home run today,” Alfaro said after the game with a laugh. “I’m like, ‘Mom, that’s hard to do.'”
