It was like something out of a storybook. Tyler Black was at the plate in his big league debut with the Milwaukee Brewers as his father, former TSN broadcaster Rod Black, and his mother Nancy Black, were being interviewed in the stands.
The younger Black connected on his second hit of the game, and of his career, and his father's instincts took over, immediately calling the play.
The moment has gone viral, with baseball fans, or fans of Rod Black from his time on TSN, loving the moment. Tyler Black was actually one of the last people to see it. Although Tyler Black's not big on social media —"it's been so hectic" — he said that family, friends, former teammates and coaches have reached out to him to talk about the moment with his dad and wish him luck on his MLB career.
"It's been really cool to put in the work to get here, but to put a smile on other people's faces and show people they can do it from Canada has been really cool as well," said Black.
