Kansas City Royals rookie outfielder John Rave commemorates his late father, Mike Rave, on his inaugural Father's Day in the majors. Amidst the pressures of MLB, Rave honors his father through a personal ritual at each game, which includes a silent prayer and gestures signifying his connection. Mike Rave, who inspired John's baseball journey, passed away in 2020 before John's first professional season, leaving an indelible void. John's elder brother, Matt, encouraged him to pursue his dreams despite the immense grief. Finally, after years in the minors, John made it to the big leagues, where he continues to feel his father's presence, sharing moments with him both on and off the field. His emotional first hit is a testament to their bond, reinforcing the idea that love transcends even the greatest losses.
