This Sunday, May 9th, is Mother’s Day… and we want you players and coaches to help us celebrate your mom (or that key mother figure in your life, be it a step-mom, grandmother, sister, teacher, coach or someone else)!
On Sunday afternoon, Extra Inning Softball will release a special ROCK STAR tribute addressed to mothers/mom figures wherever they may be.
If you would like to honor YOUR mother or the person who’s been like a mom to you, follow the steps below:
- In a few sentences or 1-2 paragraphs, complete this sentence: My mother is a ROCK STAR because_____________________.
- Send your tribute to Bonnie Eads @ bonnie.eads@extrainningsoftball no later than Sunday, May 9, 2021 (Mother’s Day) at noon EST/9 am PST.
- Include a photo of you and your mother/mom figure (preferably at the softball field).
- In the subject line please include the following: Mother’s Day Tribute, your name, grad year, your mom/mother figure’s name

On a personal note, I will be flying back to Ohio this weekend to surprise my 87-year-old mom for Mother’s Day along with my two brothers (shhhh…. don’t tell her, she doesn’t know I’m coming!).
Also, I have to credit my wife, Bonnie, for this awesome tribute… she says this photo (on the right) is the one that sparked the idea.
In her words:
“The photo was taken moments after I completed a cross-country race, setting my all-time personal best record of 3.1 miles in 20 minutes (proud Brentt note here: Bonnie would help her school team win state in XC her senior year!).
Needless to say, you can tell I was exhausted. My mom was so proud of me because she knew how hard I had tried to break my record over the course of three years and she cried with me.”
Now, that’s one mom who is a ROCK STAR!

And for those dying to know what I looked like as a little dude, here’s me (Brentt on the left) with my mom and brother Blaine… and, no, this photo isn’t from the 1800’s… Nice curlers, Mom!
