Since his impressive major league debut last week, Brewers first baseman Tyler Black has had many well-wishers, including Toronto Mets president Ryan McBride, former Blue Jays outfielder Rob Butler, who also coached Black, and World Series hero Joe Carter.
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Tyler Black says family, friends, former teammates and coaches have reached out to him to wish him luck and talk about his dad, longtime Canadian sports broadcaster Rod Black, calling his son's second major league hit last week. It was like something out of a storybook.
"There's a base hit to right field for my boy, Tyler Black," said Rod Black. "There you go, oh there you go, 2 for 2. Happy birthday, Nancy."
