“Happy Father’s Day. Love you,” said catcher Will Bush. “You’re the best. Thanks for always being there for me.”<\/p>\n

Bush learned to play catcher from his father Adam who competed in college baseball at UT-Arlington. His dad plans to be at the game this Sunday. The biggest takeaways growing up were the drills and mental skills.<\/p>\n

“Just one of those moments where all of your hard work has paid off, and he was there for pretty much all of that with me,” Bush said. “He’s always been there with me throwing BP and doing catching work, so that was really cool.”<\/p>\n

Sullivan began playing baseball with his father Patrick at 3-years-old. He’s got an athletic family that played baseball and football. His grandfather, Pat Sullivan was the 1971 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback from Auburn.<\/p>\n

“A lineage of people, growing them in the family and working hard,” Sullivan said. “I would say just looking up to my dad as a role model it’s been amazing.”<\/p>\n

The Hooks are hosting a Father’s Day pregame catch on the field on Sunday with a running the bases postgame. To participate, it’s free, all you have to do is buy a ticket to get into the game.<\/p>\n
