The Texas Rangers are pushing toward becoming the most family-oriented team in baseball.
Not only have the Rangers remained the sole annual holdout for Pride Night celebrations in the major leagues, this year they went above and beyond to celebrate fathers.
'I think there was a sense of love and respect that I got from him.'
The Rangers played to a 4-3 Father's Day win against the San Diego Padres on Sunday but put extra focus on the fathers on the team.
Rangers players and their many children lined up outside the dugout for the national anthem before the game, and the family-oriented promotions continued throughout the day.
Aside from bringing their kids onto the field, players participated in a video that talked about how their fathers motivated them and contributed to their lives and careers.
First to make remarks was pitcher Jacob deGrom, who said his father still plays catch with him in the offseason, continuing his dedication to his son's baseball path since he was a boy.
"My dad was willing to hit me as many grounders as I want, throw me as much batting practice as I want, and play catch as long as I wanted," deGrom recalled. "Once he got off work, pretty much it was we were going to play something till it was time to go inside and eat and go to bed."
Relief pitcher Jacob Latz said he idolizes his father for his drive and motivation.
"He's my idol," Latz plainly stated. "I don't think he's ever taken a nap in his life."
The 30-year-old continued: "Looking back on how far we've come and then, you know, just to have those moments, still being able to play catch with him at his age is pretty cool."
First baseman and slugger Jake Burger revealed his dad grew up working on a turkey farm in Southern Indiana, filling up buckets of feed for the turkeys.
"Every single morning at 5:00 a.m.," Burger explained.
Burger was born in Missouri but said his father carried over that work ethic and instilled it in him growing up.
"I think there was a sense of love and respect that I got from him, and that's how I want to exhibit it to my kids too."

The Rangers also posted some dad jokes to round out the day, asking questions like, "How does the moon style his hair?"
"Eclipse it," outfielder Brandon Nimmo read.
Pitcher Nathan Eovaldi asked, "What did the scarecrow win an award for?"
"He was out standing in the field."

In a recent conversation with Brandon Tatum and Gary Chambers, ESPN host Stephen A. Smith promoted a “black first identity” — which frames black identity through the lens of historical oppression rather than individual agency and achievement.
“What the hell is wrong with looking at yourself as black first before you’re anything else? Black before you’re American. Black before, you know, you’re anything else. What’s wrong with that?” Smith asked Tatum and Chambers.
“Because all black people ain't the same,” Tatum responded. “Like, for instance, we all different. So when I say ‘I’m black,’ what does that mean? The color of my skin.”
“Black people from New York is different than black people from the South. Black people from Africa that came over here as immigrants are very different than African-Americans. We’re diverse like anybody else,” he continued. “When white people say ‘I’m white first,’ what does that mean?”
Smith argued in response that black people should identify with their enslaved ancestors, as they are identifying with the "remnants of that even in today’s society.”
“I’m saying if you identify yourself as black before you identify yourself as American, what you’re doing is saying coming out of the womb, I know I’m going to be at a disadvantage because I’m in America and I’m going to have to scratch and claw and have an uphill climb,” he continued.
While he says that should not be met with a “defeatist attitude,” he goes on to say that it means “you are at least acknowledging that there are historical insidious acts that are associated with this particular nation.”
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is not amused.
“Stephen A. Smith is a cancer to the American media. That you could sit there and be paid $20 million a year by ESPN … and be as unqualified as Stephen A. Smith and then make the argument that there’s all these historical disadvantages, uphill climb,” he comments, annoyed.
“Don’t tell me about 150 years ago in slavery, something you did not experience. Don’t tell me about 100, 80 years ago, and segregation, and things you did not experience,” he says.
“When did you run uphill? When you flunked fourth grade? That was a racist plot? That was American racism making you repeat fourth grade?” he continues, pointing out that Smith’s obsession with a “black first identity” isn’t actually a “black first” identity at all.
“That’s a victim first identity. That’s what you just unpacked,” he explains.
“He’s promoting a victim first identity while claiming to be a Christian, while claiming to belong to some church, while claiming to have some sort of biblical worldview. Show me anywhere in the Bible where Christians are supposed to take on a victim first mentality,” he continues.
“Stephen A. Smith and myself grew up at the exact same time,” he says. “We’ve never been victims.”
