WATCH: ESPN Mid-Game Interview Takes WILD Detour When Red Sox Player Tells Crazy Story About His Dad Getting Arrested

Boston Red Sox infielder Triston Casas celebrated Father’s Day by telling a story about his father getting arrested while teaching him an important life lesson.

During Sunday’s series finale against the New York Yankees, Casas was given a microphone to chat with ESPN’s broadcast booth from the dugout. He used that time to reminisce about the unorthodox lesson his father gave him when he was younger. It happened in the middle of a baseball game.

“I get out one day and I come back to the dugout crying, pissed,” Casas said. “That’s what a six-year-old does. He sits on the bench and he cries, and he doesn’t wanna go out there when his team’s playing defense. So my dad, being the dad that he is, trying to teach me the lessons that he did in his own special way, came into the dugout. He actually grabbed me by my shirt, dragged me to the line, and Looney Tunes-style kicked me onto the field; and actually had one of my best friends that I went to high school with later — he ended up playing pro ball — his mom actually called child services on my dad [and] had him arrested at the field… I see my dad go away in the cop car. Gets arrested [and] spends the night in jail.”

Despite watching his father get arrested, Casas said his message still got through.

“That day, my father taught me a super valuable lesson that not a lot of people know,” Casas said, “and it’s that I had a responsibility to my teammates. I had a responsibility to my coaches, to the parents that showed up that day, all the fans who were at that Little League game — whatever it may be — to go out there and give my best effort no matter how I was feeling on the bench, no matter what I was going through that day, or whatever little hardship that I was feeling when I got out.”
