A baseball fan demonstrated what it means to be a good father without speaking a word during Tuesday's Major League Baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Washington Nationals.

Steve Monforto made a great catch of a foul ball and gave it to his little girl, who promptly throws it back over the railing.
    
But instead of getting upset, he simply takes her in his arms and gives her a big hug.

The clip of his daughter sending the ball back to the field has been on numerous morning shows and Monforto has received a number of phone calls to his home.

It is the third time in two seasons that a Phillies fan has made widespread headlines.
