We could say he did it for his Mom. The photo above is his grandmother, Peggy Lindsey, who watched the Oakland A's starter breeze past the Tampa Bay Rays on Mother's Day.
His mom, Peggy's daughter, passed away from cancer when he was a senior in high school.
Some kids do their best to forget, to move on. They don't even talk about their losses. Dallas pitches a perfect game. He did it for her, of course, pitched what is only the 19th perfect game in major league baseball history.
This is healthy grieving, doing something in memory of someone who has passed away. That's what Mother's Day has to be about, sometimes. That's being a great role model for kids and adults.

The expressive photograph tells it all...
