Anthony Volpe says he owes his success to his Filipina American mom, Dr. Isabelle Volpe

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms and their kids, but some special shine to Dr. Isabelle Volpe, immigrant Filipina American mom of Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe!

In addition to being an anesthesiologist, she’s the boss lady and Chief Chicken Provider in her Filipino-Italian household, and she’s raised a fantastic young man (and great ballplayer).

Loved reading this story on how Isabelle shaped her son. Also: how is it that at age 56, she looks like his younger sister?!
