Yikes!

Wow! Your dad isn’t proud of you at all. He would probably never say this to your face, but you let him down every day. Earning your dad’s approval is going to be tough, but stringing together a couple of seasons with at least 200 hits and maybe winning two or three batting titles would be a good way to start. It’s the least you can do for the man who has worked so hard to give you so much.

Ouch!

Yikes. Turns out your dad is not very proud of you. In fact, you’re a major disappointment to your dad. To get his attention, try leading the Cincinnati Reds to a few World Series titles or winning the National League Most Valuable Player award to start becoming the kind of person your dad can really admire.

Not Bad!

Your dad is a little bit proud of you, but he could definitely be prouder. You occasionally get on base with the kind of consistency he finds admirable, but you don’t hold as many major league records as he hoped you might have, and you might not have the kind of versatility in both the infield and outfield that he admires. To earn more of your father’s pride, consider making a few changes to the way you live your life, like winning more Gold Gloves or being named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year.

Nice!

Nice! Your dad is pretty proud of you. Not the proudest he could possibly be, but on the whole he approves of the way you live your life and has no problem talking about you with his friends. He openly brags about your unrivaled ability to reach base consistently. Earning your father’s complete approval may be as simple as appearing in 17 All-Star games and winning a Silver Slugger Award.

Awesome!

Congratulations! Your dad is very, very proud of you. He admires you greatly and your achievements fill him with profound joy. Your excellence both in the field and at the plate is obvious to anyone who has ever watched you play, especially your dad, and your ability to come through in those clutch moments when the Reds’ season is on the line is something your dad can hardly talk about without choking up. Your dad thinks often about the staggering number of hits you’ve accumulated over the course of your legendary major league career, and every time he does he feels deeply thankful for the honor of raising such an inspiring, accomplished person. This Father’s Day, the greatest gift you can give your dad is to just be yourself. He loves you, and he is so proud of you.
