Hilarious how he is trying to hide it, but you can tell how proud his dad is with that smile
Really no replies?
@@kevingohdcantgo10_0 haha all good dude
@M Irrelevant
@M
Your comment makes me appreciate baseball even more now. It is complex sport that involves intelligence and skill that not many people can do. Few people can hit a baseball with a bat coming at the at 90 MPH. It also involves a great amount of strategy. soccer on the other hand is a simple and mindless sport that anyone with two feet can play. Being more popular doesn’t mean that it’s better.
@M were you under the impression that anybody cared? If it’s number 1 so what, we’re still gonna enjoy the amazing game of baseball.
Dad says “I see you, now shut up!” 😂
His dad is super professional but even he can't hide his pride and happiness for his son's 3 run homer.
Off of a pitcher like Giolito nonetheless 😂
He got grounded when he got home 😂
Haha
he probably smacked his butt til it was as red as his jersey when he got home
now he just teaches him how to bunt.
He got the Lebelt!
@M probably because no other countries play baseball much, other than Japan and maybe a few more.
AWESOME father son moment!
A son seeking his fathers approval is special.
Its only special if he's worth it and the dad also gives it.
Some dads will never give it.
@@abdulaj4956 U ain't neva lied.
@@abdulaj4956 you went deep lol. sad but true
“You know son, if you just got a little more thrust in your hips...”
Various other instances add to it. But my dad used almost those exact same words literal minutes after I hit a walk off home run to send us to the championship game.
"Nice hit but..... " whatever followed didnt matter, I was done trying to please him.
@@dadwithtourettes same man 😂
Why does everyone have to turn everything _sexual..._
Awesome! Father and son bond forever! Staring at your father from across the field...... PRICELESS! 👍👍❤️❤️
Just a kid having fun, notice how he smiled almost instantly off the bat cuz he knew it was a homer, I love to see it
As a new parent I find things like this more beautiful than ever before.
Welcome to a Latin family. All emotion is kept bottled up until everyone is inside the house and there's no witnesses
Bro they’re black, not Latinos.
@@nigelcoy325 dad is afro-latino and mom is white. Once again, welcome to a latino family
@@KingIbanazzi lol so there's 3 races you identified there but u Gona call the family's identity? C'mon man get real.
@@bro6117 Well said....
@@Mike-om4tv (Latino is not a race)
Wow it’s so nice to have a dad
I might be 3 years too late but I’ll be your dad
Father was about to shed a tear, that is why he could not react, so sweet...
I am a fan of Alek Thomas the Player,
now I’m a fan of the person.
Rooting for this guy to keep rising ! 👍
Dad like "hey" I'm getting choked up over here go head now 😂
This is so wholesome
DAD DAD DAD DAD DAD LOOOK
3-run home run at age 19. Crazy!
Nothing stronger than a fathers love
so wholesome lol how could you not love baseball
God is so so good❤
Wife would have given the husband an earfull if he blanked their son instead of acknowledging him.
Im a dad and this is exactly the answer i was looking for. You know it!! Lmao.😂😂😂
To be fair, he was on the opposite team. It's not like he can just go celebrate with him.
@@crystal2087 I'm certain his team would have whole heartedly understood if he showed some emotion for his son and wouldn't have minded, especially since it was the preseason.
Played against Alek when he was a freshman in high school. He jacked a 370 ft homer off my team
Fatherhood at its finest
Alek got his call up to the big leagues two years ago and had that huge pinch hit, game tying home run in game 4 of last years NLCS. I can’t imagine how proud dad is watching his son in the show.
his swing is so pretty
He stone faced him for as long as he could. I know it had to be difficult to react naturally as a father to seeing your son homer.
I know it would have been impossible for me to not cheer for my son. Great moment
This is just awesome
Crazy how 4 years later he hit the biggest home run of his life to that point in Game 5 of the NLCS
Could not be more proud of my friend and his son!!
Now we know why its always"hi mom"
😂😂😂
Good on his pops. Stay humble boy!
This is the most wholesome thing i have seen all year and we are about to hit Feb 01, 2021.
I love it! Thank you for this.
That was heartwarming
Hello Mr. Oreo, hru?
That truly is heartwarming!
God bless This is some funny stuff
Amen the world needs more father son father daughter son mother mother daughter bonding like that
Dad's are irreplaceable.
"He said zuz-zip"
Kids got a cool name
He could’ve won the MLB WS with that home run & his dad could’ve been the coach of the opposing team & still be happy. That’s what a real proud father is !
This was heartwarming
Wholesome
Pure gold right there...
One word sums it up, BASEBALL!
Absolutely no one:
This guy’s description: Wanna talk *baseball?*
Dad playin it cool lol... awesome
Im a Sox fan, and this is one of greatest baseball moments I've seen.
#GoGoWhiteSox
That was heartwarming.
My insides are heartwarming.
That's awesome!!!!
That is literally my Dad
What a great moment.
You know his old man is proud
Pops had the belt waiting for him!
We all go through life seeking dad's approval
I hope Delino DeShields Jr will do the same against his father 's team this year in Cincinnati..
Go Texas Rangers Al Bundy MLB he won’t even get on base.
Fckn Pedro Martinez.. I think about that trade at least once a week..
That was cool
Priceless!!!
He’s proud of him! Not his fault! He’s just got a lucky hit!
Got this in recommended after he got to the big leagues.
That's awesome.
Being a dad has some pretty good perks. hahahaha
Love this video 😍
i was at that game (D-Backs Fan) :)
Love this
Funny dig on his Pops in the opposing team
“how can you not be romantic about baseball...”
That's dope...
Talk about working for that thumbs up, geesh.
How cool
Classic
Spring training.. dad needs to have a little more fun.... And by the way what a very bad 0-2 pitch from Giolito
Giolito pitched a fast ball straight down the middle with an 0-2 count that's weird! Why didn't he throw a slider or a curve ball on the corner to try and get him to chase the pitch
@@AveryRKemp-hi5op LMAO
@Horse V2 I understand, but my opinion is he had a pitcher's count, why give the man something he could hit instead of giving him something to chase while being ahead in the count. Even if he didn't chase it Giolotto still would've had atleast 3 more pitches in that at bat to get him out instead of a 2 run homer.
@@AveryRKemp-hi5op it was spring training bro, Mfs just trying to get into game shape. I’m sure a pro knows what they’re doing.
It must be difficult at times to have family members who play for or who are associated with different teams. I’ve always wondered what it was like for the Upton family when B.J./Melvin and Justin have been on different teams.
You think it's difficult for multi millionaires to play a game each other because they're in the same family. You're a sold sheep. Jesus Christ.
@@the99thtimelord16 You got pretty butt hurt over a simple comment there man.
@@StaySqueezy12 I mean it takes 2 seconds to call reality as it is. Not very difficult. I guess for you it would take being butt hurt to have an opinion. To each their own.
Dammit, not now son, were still playing
I can respect the dad for what he's doing there...but I'm with the kid on this one
Come on dad...this is just a game. Push comes to shove we're on the same team of life!
Bro what?
He says, "b humble son"
Welcome to your Kodak moment
Im so confused why lucas giolito was pitching an 11-2 game in the 9th with 87 pitches? Was he brought in halfway?
this looks like highschool
Does it fckn matter?? the video is about father and son..
@@Mr_Nibblesworth nope... it was simply a statement that you seem to have taken an unbelievable amount of offense to
@@Mr_Nibblesworth chill bro. I was thinking thinking the same.
@@Mr_Nibblesworth don't get your panties in a bunch.
@@Mr_Nibblesworth you cannot tell me he doesn't look like a high schooler or college student. The guy looks not much younger than me, and I'm 21.
Edit: turns out he is about 10 months younger than me.
That's a healthy way to encourage a child.
That's a 1 in a 737895736363748959474 moment a human can have with his dad
Lol I love this
Waiting on that Jomboy reaction
😂❤
Crisp
*Today I unearthed RUclips gold.*
Yeah... be professional...BUT give that Son praise!!! He just spanked your team!!💯 Look what he's doing now in 2021
His dad was wearing the opposite team jersey. Probably the reason he said zip it
probably?
Can someone please give me backstory to this
Gotchu. Alek is from Chicago, his dad is the strength and conditioning coach for the white Sox and has been for a long time. Alek talked about how he grew up hitting with some of the white Sox greats, but seeing as alek hit a home run off the white Sox’s ace, (especially while they were losing a lot) the father doesn’t wanna celebrate the home run his son hit even though it’s off one of the best pitchers in the league. However seeing as its preseason so it doesn’t really matter, he gave his son the attention. If this was in a real mlb game I don’t think they would have had an interaction after the homer
@@jordanrogers3835 omg thank you so much
@@hi-ft3bo gotchu brotha
"kid, I'm proud but you're destroying us this game. Shut up!"
Hahahahaa this is the best
Wait why was the dad tryna keep a straight face?
I don’t even play baseball but it seems like his dad is salty about the “unwritten rule”
so in a regular season game, does the dad wanna get his kid out?
On the outside yes, you want him to get out, but on the inside you are pulling for him and are ok with him beating you
Joseph Stuby Yep, absolutely right. My dad had coached a minor league team and I hit very well against them. About two hours after the game is where we’d meet up for dinner and he’d tell me how good my swing looks and to keep my weight back etc... I now coach baseball and I imagine if my son and I were in the same opportunity I’d be jumping with absolute joy on the inside. We ALL root for our kids it doesn’t matter the situation or scenario. Great moment here.
Funny
Wholesome reaction would seem to include any outward expression of some sense of pride. Can someone explain how the opposite is somehow wholesome?
It's wholesome in this case because they are actively competing against each other in a TEAM game. The father must show his team that losing, even if family is on the other team, is not fun. His son got him to crack with an electric smile and loving bond though. ☺️
So funny
zip it for later..
Dad lost a bet. 😆
This and sooooooo many reasons why there is NO sport that can touch baseball
