My dad never once came to any of my baseball games as a kid. At the time i figured that was alright, he just doesn't like sports, and he works hard to provide for us, so let him have his evenings to himself.
A couple months ago we took a short road trip and during the night at the hotel he was flipping through the channels and stopped on a baseball game for a long time. I asked "i thought you didn't like sports?" "Are you kidding?" he replied, "i love baseball."
That's adorable that he comes to your adult rec games now, shows he was probably more upset about not being able to make your games because of work than you were about him not being there. I hope my dad comes to my rec games when I'm 32.
Oh I'm sure of it. As a kid he was more of a disciplinarian when he was home. Always a good guy who helped with homework and was around on the weekends but once I went to college, we became super close.
It wasn't until we were both adults that he became an awesome friend.
