Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryne Stanek checks first base during the sixth inning of a game between the Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox on Sunday, June 19, 2022, at Minute Maid Park in Houston.Joe Matijevic is a Pennsylvania firefighter who works in 24-hour shifts. He spent most of Father’s Day at his firehouse, but left a little after 8 p.m., allowing him ample time to watch his son hit sixth and start at designated hitter beneath a national television audience.
Almost all of the 386 minor league games J.J. played came with Joe in the stands. Father and son swap text messages almost every day. Joe refrains from asking about streaks or swing mechanics. He just wishes his son good luck and says ‘I love you.’ The two texted for Father’s Day before Sunday’s game, one Joe would not attend but J.J. would make history. He struck his first major league hit — a solo home run — in the fourth inning of“Best Father’s Day ever,” Joe said. “Sadly, it’s the first game I missed in I couldn’t tell you how many years.”
