In the stadium he grew up watching games in, he hit a two-run home run on Father’s Day in front of dozens of family and friends in attendance.

When we spoke with Story in August about returning to Dallas again, he told us that the home run was one of the moments he was most proud of in his career.

Story started the offense for both teams as both teams exploded after his homer. The American League ended up winning by a score of 8-6.
