What happened: John Wathan entered the Royals Wall of Fame before Sunday’s game against the Phillies. His son, Phillies bench coach Dusty Wathan, caught his ceremonial first pitch.

Why it matters: The ceremony connected John Wathan’s history in Kansas City with Dusty Wathan’s current role in Philadelphia. It added a family moment to the clubs’ ongoing series without affecting the live game.

What to watch: The Phillies and Royals remain in action with the game still in progress.
