LOS ANGELES -- Shelly Pederson is in that exclusive club of being a Major Leaguer's wife and mother.
Shelly is the wife of former Dodgers outfielder Stu Pederson and mother of current rookie sensation Joc Pederson, along with his two brothers and one sister. A former athletic trainer, Shelly left most of the baseball coaching to Stu while she handled pretty much everything else, Joc said.
"My mom made sure of everything," Joc said as Mother's Day approached. "She'd drive us to practice, clean the jerseys, make sure I ate. I'm fortunate to have a mother that loves me so much.
