Toronto Blue Jays left-fielder Davis Schneider's dad, Steve is having a moment.
The Toronto Blue Jays family is deep and strong, and many relatives of the players are getting their moments in the sun.
First, it was Trey Yesavage's parents. George Springers father and sister were on CBC. Now, it is Steve Schneider's turn.
Steve is the father of Blue Jays outfielder Davis Schneider and was in attendance at Dodger Stadium for Game 5 when his son launched the first pitch of the game over the left field wall for a lead-off home run.
In fact, he was filming his son's about at the time, and his heartwarming reaction has now gone viral.

In the video, Steve is heard screaming in a mixture of excitement and disbelief, watching in real time as his son's ball cleared the outfield wall.
Schneider didn't even know he was playing until about an before game time
In a subsequent interview, Steve mentioned how Davis wasn't even sure if he was playing, let alone batting leadoff, until about an hour before game, as his spot depended on the health of Springer.
He's still not entirely over it.
It was crazy, we couldn't believe it. Everybody was just dumbfounded
Like so many Jays fans, Steve is suffering from celebrations and a lack of sleep. In many ways, he is all of us, that visceral excitement hoping to give way to jubilation.
