SALT LAKE CITY — Like many other grateful children, Donovan Mitchell gave his dad a social media shoutout on Sunday.
Mitchell's post showed a few things.
He loves his dad, who works for the New York Mets. He loves the Mets. And he loves to make a good joke.
"Happy Fathers Day Dad!!" Mitchell wrote. "Thank you for everything except your height."
The photo shows that Donovan Mitchell Sr., the Mets' director of player relations and community engagement, is about a half-head shorter than the 6-foot-3 junior version of him.
Mitchell Jr. added "I love you" and a bunch of crying laughing emojis.
