Blue Jays' dads fly to Toronto to spend Father's Day with sons

In honor of Father's Day, WestJet flew 13 players' dads to Toronto for the weekend to watch their sons take on the Phillies.

After the sweep, the dads waited outside the clubhouse to say goodbye to their Milwaukee-bound sons. Brett Lawrie's dad, Russ, pitched the idea that they travel everywhere with the team, since the Jays are 3-for-3 with fathers in attendance.

First-base coach Torey Lovullo also was joined by his family. Lovullo's dad said he hadn't seen Torey on Father's Day in 15 years. Torey's son, Nick, who was drafted by Toronto, surprised his dad at the airport for Father's Day -- so three generations were in attendance.

And of course ACE, the mascot, was joined by his dad as well. Click here for more photos.
