We've seen a lot of soldiers surprising their loved ones at ballparks the last few years. And whether it's a girlfriend, a wife or a family being shocked, each one is special in its own way.
One of the features that unites them all, however, is that it has always been the returning soldier catching the other people off guard. That's why what happened at Dodger Stadium on Sunday was particularly noteworthy. Instead of U.S. Navy Col. Christopher Farias surprising his father Lawrence after a ceremonial first pitch, it was the other way around.
Watch what happens as Christopher Farias completes what he thinks is just a throw to commemorate his selection as the "veteran of the game":
According to Lawrence, it was the first time in eight years that Christopher's military responsibilities didn't get in the way of them being together on Father's Day. That's definitely way too long but a sunny afternoon at Chavez Ravine seems like a heck of a way to get back on track.
