In honor of Father’s Day, Triston Casas was asked during ESPN’s broadcast of the Red Sox/Yankees game on Sunday about his own father and the lessons he’s passed down to him over the years.
The Boston first baseman did not disappoint, diving into a wild story about how his father was once arrested during one of his Little League games.
The drama started when Casas — not more than six or seven years old — started crying on the bench because he did not want to play defense with the rest of his team.
“I get out one day and I come back to the dugout crying, (expletive), and that’s what a six-year-old does; he sits on the bench and he cries and he doesn’t wanna go out there when his team is playing defense,” Casas recalled during a live ESPN interview in the fourth inning.
