The Arizona Diamondbacks and all of Major League Baseball honored the hard-working dads on Father’s Day with festive uniforms.

The D-backs traded in the Sedona Red for baby blue, as they donned special caps and socks in honor of the holiday.

Logos on the field were also painted blue for the occasion, while special Father’s Day bases and balls were used during the game.

The special uniforms are part of the league-wide holiday jerseys, which have already been on display this year for Mother’s Day and Memorial Day.

Arizona also honored the first 15,000 fans in attendance for Sunday’s game against the New York Mets with special edition Hawaiian shirts.
