This Sunday is Father's day, a day to give thanks to our dads for everything they do for us. So instead of buying him another tie or coffee mug, why not spend the day doing something together?
Here are some tips and events happening this weekend that will help make this a Father's Day to remember for dear ol' Dad:
-
The Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Houston Astros baseball game. The game starts at 1 p.m on Sunday, but before the game there will be live music in the parking lot and a meet and greet with players and cheerleaders of the Chivas USA soccer team.

After the game ends fans are welcome to go out onto the field where they will be given foam balls to play catch with their families.
