Father’s Day In Charlotte: Give Dad A Night Out At The Ballgame

CHARLOTTE, NC — Father’s Day weekend is nearly here and what better way to celebrate the great Charlotte metro dads than by giving them tickets for a night out at the ballpark? While the Charlotte Knights will be away on Father’s Day, they will play the Syracuse Mets at BB&T Ballpark in uptown on Tuesday, June 18.

Just as players wear pink on Mother’s Day, don’t be surprised to see a lot of blue Sunday. Father’s Day jerseys will reportedly feature a powder-blue ribbon on the upper left side of the torso to raise awareness for prostate cancer. Furthermore, baseball hats will feature a blue tie-dye wash and socks will also be blue.

Those who need some cool swag for the game can head over to the MLB Shop, which was offering a limited time Father’s Day sale with unique gifts and apparel, including shirts and jerseys featuring the name “Dad” and, of course, sporting No. 1. For the dads who’ve relocated and can’t physically attend the games, MLB.TV is offering a limited-time offer of 50 percent off the streaming service through Sunday.

And for those who remember filling out All-Star game ballots with their dads, it’ll be a little easier this year. You can still vote from your seat, but instead of using a pen you can do it online from your phone.

Don’t strike out — hit a home run this Father’s Day with the gift he’ll cherish forever.
