Part of the magic of baseball is the bond the game creates between generations — especially for fathers and sons.

Baseball is all about family for Mark Lerner, the principal owner of the Washington Nationals, and his father Ted, who brought the franchise to the District in 2005.
And the younger Lerner would like nothing more than presenting his 94-year-old dad — born in Washington on Oct. 15, 1925 — with the ultimate birthday present Tuesday night: a trip to the World Series.
