Last month Alayna, age 9, and her mother Dana, learned that they had been selected by the U.S.O. and the Tampa Bay Rays to represent military families by throwing out the first pitch. As Alayna prepared for the big moment, her father, Lt. Colonel Will Adams, appeared on the stadium screen to give her a tip, wish her well, and promise she would soon see him. He had been deployed in Afghanistan for over a year.

What happened next surprised both mother and daughter. From the Tampa Bay Times:

The family was interviewed a few innings later by Fox Sports.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
