SEATTLE -- For Mariners pitcher Wade LeBlanc, the "No. 1 Dad" trophy in his locker said it all. For Red Sox manager Alex Cora, the tears in his eyes spoke volumes as well.
Father's Day is an important day across Major League Baseball, and a sold-out Safeco Field crowd relished a sunny Sunday celebrating the occasion. The Mariners and Red Sox took time in their own ways to honor dads everywhere while wearing blue caps and wristbands and other reminders of the battle against prostate cancer.
Cora was 13 when his father died from colon cancer.
