Happy 75th to my hero, my friend, my dad

Sharing is caring!

In the coming weeks, it’s my dad’s 75th birthday! I won’t be able to be there so I’m coming home a couple weeks early to celebrate.

While trying to come up with a birthday present for him, I ran through the regular items on the list; biography, Lids gift card, or John Wayne DVD collector set. For his 75th year on earth I really had to change things up and get him something special.

How do you flip the script for a guy that’s taught you everything?

We’ve done some pretty cool things in the past. We’ve attended the Canada National Teams Awards Banquet & Fundraiser where we had the pleasure of meeting Larry Walker, Bob Elliott, and Adam Stern. There was the time we went to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame Inductions and had the privilege of listening to Rod Black on the mic. To this day Rod, I believe!

This year, thanks to this thing we call technology, The Toronto Blue Jays’ resident Superman was able to provide my dad, possibly the greatest birthday present ever.

Thank you again to Kevin Pillar and Cameo for providing this once in a lifetime moment, one that will keep a smile on his face to a long time.
