Nats, Blue Jays celebrate Father's Day

TORONTO -- It was a family affair at Rogers Centre on Sunday afternoon, as the Blue Jays and Nationals celebrated Father's Day with a sea of blue and plenty of tributes to the men who are so important in their lives.

Before the game, Nationals star Bryce Harper honored his father by unveiling a pair of specialty blue cleats with the words "My Dad Is My Hero" on them. Ron Harper is no stranger to the big league diamond, after previously throwing to Bryce in the 2013 Home Run Derby.
