Sending parents and family members along to sporting events is something of a tradition in the world of talk shows.

David Letterman used to do it. James Corden has sent his parents along to WWE Raw, and his sisters to the NFL.

Well, now it's Jimmy Kimmel's dad's turn.

In the clip above Jim Kimmel (Jimmy's dad) heads along to World Series media day, where he proceeds to tell every Dodgers player he can find about the time he went to see them play when he was a kid.

Glorious.
