If you’re a baseball fan and are over 25, you probably remember Delino DeShields well.
DeShields, now 48, played for the Montreal Expos, Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles, and Chicago Cubs over 13 very productive major-league seasons from 1990-2002. He’s currently the manager of the Louisville Bats (Cincinnati Reds’ Triple-A affiliate).
His son, Delino DeShields Jr., is now in his third year in the big leagues as an outfielder for the Texas Rangers. And during the Rangers’ game against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, Delino Jr. showed off some awesome Father’s Day cleats in honor of his dad:
The design inspiration for the cleats comes from these awesome photos Delino Jr. shared on Father’s Day of 2013:
Delino Jr. also shared this heartfelt message about his dad on Instagram in 2015:
That’s some good stuff. Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there.
