My dad's not a very intimidating father figure.

My dad's supportive of all my endeavors.

My dad has more sparkly stuff than most men.

When I was about 12 and first started wearing lipstick, my dad would ask, 'Are you wearing makeup?' I would say back, 'You're wearing more makeup there than I am!'

I can't remember a major league game where I could make eye contact with my dad. I kept wondering if he was going to yell at me for hanging a pitch or something.
