They're the first father/son duo to ever both call the same World Series in the same year for the same team. 

How unusual is that? Their story made the New York Times on Thursday, via its offshoot The Athletic. 

Dad says he has more thoughts about his boy during a game than his own son does of him. 
 
“I think a father thinks about a son more than a son thinks about a father, and Ben will see that in later years,” Dan said, laughing.  “I bet you there’s not a single game this year where we haven’t exchanged text during the game, but it’s much less in October than it is in the regular season. We don’t live together, so it’s not like what gate do you want to meet at after the game. Sometimes when I’m in the booth and filling out my scorecard, I’ll hear a video package on the Jumbotron. I’m kind of immune to reacting to my own voice but when you hear your son’s voice, as a parent, you turn your head right away. It’s just instinct.”
