Will Clark (Giants Instructor):
Will Clark says his Father's Day this year lasted more than a week. The former first baseman came to San Francisco for the reunion of the 1989 Giants, bringing his wife, son and daughter with him. They stayed throughout the home stand, Will fulfilling some of his duties as a new special assistant to the team, and the entire family enjoying the city.

Jim Leyland (Tigers MGR):
While Tigers manager Jim Leyland took exception to agent Scott Boras' criticism on his move to sit Magglio Ordonez, he also put more of a definite time frame on how long Ordonez will be out of the lineup.

Joe Girardi (Yankess MGR):
The memories of Joe Girardi's father as a strict disciplinarian with a lesser-seen soft side continue to beat on in the Yankees manager's heart, even though that man no longer answers the ringing telephone.
