Hanging out with your dad is essential
Baseball players are often on the road and don’t have much time to hang out with their kids and families. However, Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman brought his son to the game against the Chicago Cubs. Some fans noticed he’s already faster than his dad.

Catch it with your hands, son!
Catching the ball in the stands is one of the tasks you have to accomplish if you are a true baseball fan. This Pirates fan had a perfect chance and just couldn’t believe that he ruined it with a sloppy play. His reaction was hilarious.
Watch this absolute devastation in slo-mo. pic.twitter.com/8eZ663OKRC

Ramon’s biggest fan got the best present for his birthday
Bryan is Ramon Laureano’s biggest fan and one of the loudest guys at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. He got a special present for his birthday and met Ramon and his parents who signed his ball. Ramon put on another strong performance, but his A’s lost to the Red Sox 6-3.
For his birthday, @sandlot408 met his favorite player Ramón. He even met Ramón’s parents, who signed his baseball.
Ramón just crushed that homer.
Good luck Bryan?#RootedInOakland pic.twitter.com/M0mkyNQdP4
