I've sat here today trying to come up with the best way to put up a post wishing all of you dads out there a Happy Father's Day. Then our friend Austin, the XFINITY Sports guy made a series of Tweets listing his top five father/son combinations in sports, which I thought was a perfect method. So, here are his tweets, followed by some honorable mentions I would add to this list:
