PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies right-hander Jerome Williams is not pitching on Mother's Day, but he promises something special for the occasion.
"It's a cool tribute," Williams said. "I've got a couple things. You'll see it. Trust me."
Phils fans certainly have seen Williams pitching with a pink glove this season. He wears the glove to honor his mother, Deborah, who died of breast cancer in 2001. But Williams also has green, blue, purple and gold gloves. Green represents liver cancer, blue represents prostate cancer, gold represents childhood cancer and purple represents pancreatic cancer.
Williams has not yet worn the other gloves in a game, but it could be coming.
