Like father, like son. On April 23rd, exactly 22 years apart from each other, Fernando Tatis Jr. and his dad each homere Via @MLB on X

What happened: On April 23rd, separated by exactly 22 years, Fernando Tatis Jr. and his father each hit two home runs in a game at Dodger Stadium. The matching multi-homer days link two generations of the family to the same ballpark on the same calendar date.

Why it matters: The coincidence underscores a shared major-league lineage, with father and son producing nearly identical power performances at the same venue decades apart. Such a precise generational echo is exceptionally uncommon in baseball.

What to watch: Tatis Jr. carries the family name forward in San Diego, where the same Fernando Tatis Jr. remains a central bat in the Padres' lineup this season.
