Kansas City Royals rookie John Rave will honor late dad on first Father's Day as a Major League baseball player.

Mike Rave was John ’s coach growing up, and his wife, Sue , were always at his games growing up.

Rave wasn't sure he wanted to keep playing baseball after his father passed, and didn't immediately report to the Royals ' minor-league camp.

Rave got his first hit on a bunt against the Cincinnati Reds .

The first hit became only a sacrifice bunt.

It wasn't until two days later that he made sure it couldn't be overturned with a double to right field off ace Hunter Greene .

Mike would have just been over the moon to see this," says his wife Sue .
