Where would we be without our moms? While people everywhere celebrated Mother's Day, teams and players around the Minors made their affection known with pink uniforms, moms honored before the game and even home runs hit in maternal honor.

Because moms always support their kids win or lose, it made for a touching day all around. Here's a look at a few of the special moments across the MiLB landscape.

----------

Single-A Palm Beach made sure to spread the love. The Cardinals' affiliate rounded up several players to deliver sweet messages to their moms and all the women in their families.

Triple-A Nashville pulled out a win on Mother's Day, and Payton Henry got the scoring started with a homer in the third. The Brewers prospect gave a little message to the camera after returning to the dugout...

You're a good son, Payton.

Triple-A Sugar Land (Astros) gave some mothers a chance to do something pretty special -- throw out the first pitch to their sons. Not many moms can say that, huh?

Double-A Portland did what many teams in baseball do on this day by donning pink. The Red Sox affiliate did this in honor of both Mother's Day and Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

So happy you came out for the game today, Mrs. Slugger.

West Michigan announcer Dan Hasty is constantly doing things to make his broadcast more entertaining for the High-A Tigers affiliate, and he really went outside the box with this one in the best way possible.

Single-A Daytona took its jerseys to the next level. The Reds affiliate had names of cancer survivors listed on the unis:

No. 3 Giants prospect Grant McCray had a special message for his mom and all the rest of the mothers before High-A Eugene's game:

Triple-A Las Vegas knew what they had to do. The Athletics affiliate pinked out every aspect of its uniforms.

You sure did, Aviators.

High-A Spokane brought some mothers out in person to celebrate their day. The Mariners affiliate had them hold flowers as the home team took the field.

Triple-A Sacramento's mascot, Dinger, made sure his mother had a great vantage point for the Giants affiliate's afternoon contest. We can see where Dinger got his good looks.

And they got to enjoy a walk-off victory!

Angels No. 9 prospect Kyren Paris tweeted a special and timely message after his ninth homer of the season for Double-A Rocket City.

Fresno, the Rockies' Single-A affiliate, scored three runs in the ninth to pull off a Mother's Day victory in walk-off fashion.

Triple-A Oklahoma City definitely went all out for the occasion. The Dodgers affiliate won for the mothers for the first time in six years!

Single-A Fayetteville players and personnel celebrated their mothers out on the field pregame. Lots of love was evident from the Astros affiliate.

Double-A Arkansas' social media admin might have had some moms looking over their shoulders on this tweet. The Mariners affiliate did indeed pull off the series sweep with a walk-off win
