Don’t matter who was pitching, could’ve been someone from the major leagues. That boy was armed with his fathers love, he was hitting a home run on any one
My favorite part of this is that dad wasn’t sitting in the stands. He walked out to the outfield because he knew his son was gonna hit a dinger that night and he wanted to catch it. And he did. Freaking amazing.
and you'll be the best father a boy could ask for :) the ability to empathise and feel the raw emotion of what happened here is what will carry you into becoming a great man
You see why a father figure is so so so important ! Mother provide love, she nutures the soul Father creates dreams and show the path, teaches hard work and pride Both are equaly important so before having children be sure you can be up to the challenge as a parent, like this amazing father
When he said I ain’t forget about you it made me feel like he was making up for the wrongs done to him. Those words really hit me hard and I didn’t even realize it. We can go our whole lives and carry that pain from childhood. Break the cycle like this guy. 💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
He was making up for him thinking he forgot about his birthday. That’s why he was so sad he thought he forgot about his birthday and he didn’t say anything about it
When he was upset because he thought his father forgot his birthday, he still did what was asked of him. When he took the bat outta the box, first thing he did was put the box in the van. Old man's doing a good job here.
Im a grown man , never had a dad in my life and now i have a son at 33 years old. Growing up my older brothers used to do things like this for me. Makes me cry every time. Cant wait to see my son grow up.
Growing up without a father and seeing stuff like this really makes me happy. This is going to be a great memory for the kid having his father by his side and a great memory for the father seeing his son shine on the pitch. Massive W
That bat meant the world to his son but as a father myself I can honestly bet that the ball meant the whole universe to that father! I know how expensive bats can be I could never afford one growing up. I don’t know the fathers situation but if he was strapped for cash and pulled that together to make his son happy it was all worth it whenever he caught that ball!
I don’t care if it’s the same game same day or what. The present was awesome and the fact that you catch your kids home run ball is still astronomically unheard of.
The kid didn’t even care about the bat. All he wanted was a happy birthday from his father. That meant more to him than that bat. Bless them both. Great father, great son. 🙌🏽
Literally me as of 3 minutes ago after reading a comment that said "Look up his dad catching the home run his son hit with the new bat" how awesome, glad we got here to see this gem!
I'm not even a father and this video ducks me up man.... this is a day and a moment that kid is going to remember for the rest of his life. A father who truly loves his son, a father who THANKS his son... not even just for the home run. It was more than that. That was a "thank you for being my son. Thank you for always doing your best. Thank you for working hard, for doing the right thing, for taking another step in becoming the man I know you can be." I pray that kid keeps that bat forever... and I pray that dad keeps that ball forever. A gift for a gift. And I hope at the Christmas dinners.. the reunions. The good times and the bad times they see that ball sitting on a mantle or shelf... and remember this.
I’m crying yall. I wish I had a father. I got a son now and I give em everything my dad never gave me and that’s love and support. Every time I watch this video I cry. That’s a happy son and a proud dad!
The dude could have been a millionaire just filming his son growing up and his progression in baseball, but he chose to stay private, dude did not even monetize his channel, some people might say it was not a smart move but I think it goes to show the authenticity of Mr. Fowler and the love for his son.
Thought the same thing when I first saw this video. Found out a few weeks ago that my gf of 14 years is pregnant with our first child. I can’t wait to be a Dad !
Enough to make a grown man cry. This is what its all about
THIS made me cry. That's love right there.
Amen
😢😢😢
Randomly thought of this video today. Right in the feels.
he not only hit the home run like his dad told him to, his dad even caught it and that's what's makin me cry right now 😭
Man that part. I’m literally smiling and crying, this was just beautiful
The fact that the father caught his sons ball it so crazy after the gift. What a fuckin memory for both of them. That’s amazing
And that it was with the fresh bat as a birthday gift. That’s gonna be that kid’s best birthday for the rest of his life
@@garretthensley6527 yeah just absolutely incredible everything. Those 2 will have such a strong bond just from that. Absolutely amazing
Don’t matter who was pitching, could’ve been someone from the major leagues. That boy was armed with his fathers love, he was hitting a home run on any one
The power of encouragement
Wish I had a dad
@@DannyTheMarvel😕
This why dads are so damn important in a childs development. Glad to see a loving dad. Brings me to tears.
Damn and he caught the ball? This has to be one of the best non scripted stories
Real life hollywood scene
My favorite part of this is that dad wasn’t sitting in the stands. He walked out to the outfield because he knew his son was gonna hit a dinger that night and he wanted to catch it.
And he did. Freaking amazing.
Catching his sons home run ball with the bat he gifted him, that’s god right there 💯
Amen
Amen
Amen
This is what men want, to be a father and what sons want, to play catch and make their father proud
Not even a father yet and this shit makes me shed tears, can’t wait to give my kid everything I can someday
Yeah me too 😢😢😢 that’s big
Hope you get the opportunity and chance to. Good luck with being a father homie ✌
and you'll be the best father a boy could ask for :) the ability to empathise and feel the raw emotion of what happened here is what will carry you into becoming a great man
This is one of the biggest "once in a lifetime" events that has happened. It's amazing.
Dad hit the biggest parent W of the decade
Bruh here from the IG post. I seen the 1st part before but damn to hit a home run and your dad to catch it 😭🔥🔥 can’t even script that man
Litterally just got done watching it from seeing it on ig
same here man, and i dont even like baseball, perfect ending
I’m here too from IG 😭😭
Possibly the best video of all time.
For sure up there 👆
Damn we really all came here after the post? 😭 it’s also wild that he actually caught it wow
😂😂😂😂 guilty lol
this is one of the biggest W’s in sports history tbh
Gave his kid a badass bat and he gave his dad a home run
This really look like something straight out a movie. When he hit his lil batting stance, then the home run. What a great moment. Black Fathers Matter
Finally a movement I can get behind
You see why a father figure is so so so important !
Mother provide love, she nutures the soul
Father creates dreams and show the path, teaches hard work and pride
Both are equaly important so before having children be sure you can be up to the challenge as a parent, like this amazing father
I like the way you laid that out🤝🏾
@@moneymula6843
♥️♥️♥️
Thank God i had amazing Parents
A mother or a father can provide both those roles
This is amazing, the fact he got him the bat he wanted and then he hit a home run and the dad caught the ball. Really is a unreal moment
When he said I ain’t forget about you it made me feel like he was making up for the wrongs done to him. Those words really hit me hard and I didn’t even realize it. We can go our whole lives and carry that pain from childhood. Break the cycle like this guy. 💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
He was making up for him thinking he forgot about his birthday. That’s why he was so sad he thought he forgot about his birthday and he didn’t say anything about it
This guy is what you call a real father.
When he was upset because he thought his father forgot his birthday, he still did what was asked of him. When he took the bat outta the box, first thing he did was put the box in the van. Old man's doing a good job here.
And that's a good boy
Had to find video after IG.
You can't make this up! Wonderful moments both times!
The key word " I never forgot about you" Makes the greatest difference in a childs life
"I ain't forget about you" that part broke me
Dude this shit right here.. literally straight out of movie.. straight made me tear tf up
This is peak fatherhood. Like when I’m a dad I pray I can make memories like this for my kid
"I aint forget about you" 🙈😢 love ya dad's yall
"I ain't forget about you" ... gets me every time
The dad catching it is unbelievable, that’s definitely a story to tell your grandkids
Im a grown man , never had a dad in my life and now i have a son at 33 years old. Growing up my older brothers used to do things like this for me. Makes me cry every time. Cant wait to see my son grow up.
You’re gonna do great man. Shout out to your brothers
I burst into tears when dad said, “I caught it too!”
You just know he’s keeping that ball forever
Ngl I come back to this video every so often to keep me on track as a father❤️❤️
Same brotha
Same
💯
same man
Same king
Father's are heavily underrated. Thank you all good fathers in the world. RIP to the ones who lost their father's. ❤️
We don’t give fathers enough credit. I’m so very grateful for my father ❤️ Bless up to all the great dads out there 🙏🏻
I miss my dad everyday
You could hear Dad’s voice cracking when his son started crying with joy. Tug on my heart strings why don’t ya?
Pull it out let the world see it
“I ain’t forget about you” was what got me 😢
the way the kid is doing his best to try and smile while also not trying to cry is what gets me too.
When you show your kids love and support there is nothing that they can’t do sent that love right back to his dad like this is for you
when he said "i aint forget about you" i broke down
That’s when I started stroking my shit
“I didn’t forget about you.” -Dad of the Century.
That home run going straight to the dad was the boy's way of saying "thank you."
The pride in that fathers voice is a beautiful feeling
He gave the son a gift and god gave the father one. Very wholesome moment
I just came from that bleacherreport post 💀 dope vid
Same💀
@@brooooooooooooooooo______ same
Yoooo same 😂😂
We all did ( i dont mean it literally )
Same I was like no way he hit a homer after that emotional surprise gift
Growing up without a father and seeing stuff like this really makes me happy. This is going to be a great memory for the kid having his father by his side and a great memory for the father seeing his son shine on the pitch. Massive W
Yup same here and now I have my little mini me and ima make sure I do this with him when he grows up!!!
Bleacher report fumbled the bag not posting the 2nd clip
Haha we’re all here for the same reason
Hahaha word
lmaoooo fr
The crack in his voice gets me EVERY TIME!!!
That bat meant the world to his son but as a father myself I can honestly bet that the ball meant the whole universe to that father! I know how expensive bats can be I could never afford one growing up. I don’t know the fathers situation but if he was strapped for cash and pulled that together to make his son happy it was all worth it whenever he caught that ball!
This video deserve millions of views! It's the perfect scenario. The dad's gift was a bat. The kids gift was his first homerun ball.🔥🔥🔥
This need to be in the Smithsonian to preserve such a special moment of a father and son
I don’t care if it’s the same game same day or what. The present was awesome and the fact that you catch your kids home run ball is still astronomically unheard of.
The kid didn’t even care about the bat. All he wanted was a happy birthday from his father. That meant more to him than that bat. Bless them both. Great father, great son. 🙌🏽
Sometimes when I’m feeling down I revisit this video
im so happy the dad recorded this
"I aint forget about you"
That hit different man
As a grown man... this set me in tears... love this...
That thank you from his dad at the very end was pure af. Whole video beginning to end is perfect.
I was under control til that thankyou, that was raw! His kid just gave him something priceless right there
Who else saw the first vid on IG and came here to see the home run?! 🙌🏿
Yup
Literally me as of 3 minutes ago after reading a comment that said "Look up his dad catching the home run his son hit with the new bat" how awesome, glad we got here to see this gem!
daddy said we gon go hit some home runs and he said yessir. hope he goes pro man, bless y’all that was beautiful.
That bat was blessed just for that kid. That's the father i aspire to be
maybe the greatest video on the internet
"Nice home run kid... THANK YOU!"... uffff!
Love this video
I think that’s the best video ever recorded
The bat, the home run and the best dad ever. The kid has it all
Let’s get this man a father of the year award pronto
If everyone had a father like this man the world would be so much better. A father's love and guidance is essential for a young man's growth.
When it’s all said and done, this is the peak of the human experience. It doesn’t get any better than this.
Beautifully said
I agree. Its difficult to put into words but it really is so beautiful
Dude, this is a full ass movie from start to finish.. I get choked up every time I see it.
Best words: I never forgot about you son.
I'm not even a father and this video ducks me up man.... this is a day and a moment that kid is going to remember for the rest of his life. A father who truly loves his son, a father who THANKS his son... not even just for the home run. It was more than that. That was a "thank you for being my son. Thank you for always doing your best.

I pray that kid keeps that bat forever... and I pray that dad keeps that ball forever. A gift for a gift. And I hope at the Christmas dinners.. the reunions. The good times and the bad times they see that ball sitting on a mantle or shelf... and remember this.
W dad, core memory for his son for sure
Massive W in the dad column
Thats real love in the fathers voice
Who else came to watch the full video from BR ?
So we all really here after the IG post 😅
Hell yeah comments said he hit Homer I had to see the car facts 😂
“I caught it Boo!!” I ain’t crying. I ain’t sobbing. My lip ain’t quivering
This is my favorite video of all time, I come back to it every time I miss my dad. Can’t wait to see this kid hopefully make it big one day
Praise God for this father
Boys need their fathers and this is why
That made me cry bro i wish i had a dad like that.
🗣
Same bro. My dad has been to 1 game all season cause my lil bro is more important I guess
@@isaiahashenfelter3034 heyy hes in your life brother mine wasnt even there but im sorry your going through that!
Bro I wish I could be your dad lol but your a blessed person for this mentality you’ll be a great father
I’m crying yall. I wish I had a father. I got a son now and I give em everything my dad never gave me and that’s love and support. Every time I watch this video I cry. That’s a happy son and a proud dad!
Your son is lucky to have you 🙏🏻
This is the best vid in RUclips hands down, he catches the ball to. That’s God at work
@Allen T let people have their moment damn
everyone here from the BR post 😂😂😂
Man this shit so beautiful, always crying when I see it
It’s good seeing something positive during times like these. W dad. Happy Father’s Day
The dude could have been a millionaire just filming his son growing up and his progression in baseball, but he chose to stay private, dude did not even monetize his channel, some people might say it was not a smart move but I think it goes to show the authenticity of Mr. Fowler and the love for his son.
“Post up with it … let the world see” man smh one of the best videos I’ve ever seen in my life 💯🫡
The “thank you” after he caught the home run was so pure.
I hope he kept this ball and the bat as well
gets me every single time bruh
Every. Damn. Time.
One of the best videos to hit the internet
No doubt
Crying like a baby 😭 such a great moment
The dad saying 'that's crazy' brought me back to reality! What an amazing moment, beautiful.
The sense of pride in being able to provide for your children, even if it’s just by being there, is truly priceless.
Life can be so beautiful sometimes
If buying your son a bat for his birthday and having him later serve you a homer with the same bat isn't wholesome
Idk what is.
Some shi u see straight out a movie i love it
Best video on the internet
facts
This video is the definition of why I want to be a dad. Baby fever really is a real thing. I cry every time watching this thinking if my future kid.
I hope you get your wish my guy. Be strong.
You’re going to be a great dad before you know it. Keep that heart
Thought the same thing when I first saw this video. Found out a few weeks ago that my gf of 14 years is pregnant with our first child. I can’t wait to be a Dad !
@@rcjscrCongratulations man
Such a great kid literally receives a bat for his birthday and is happy. other kids out here expecting cars on their 16th birthday
And a PS5
Bro I’m 16 going to be 17 and I don’t even have a car yet cause idc about it leak
Lmao*
What are the sheer odds of this happening. Gotta be a miracle
