Rooker clapped back and wrote, “Yes, it was necessary to feed my 11 -month -old child her night bottle at 9pm. Thank you for asking.”
Fans on social media were overwhelmingly agreed with Rooker.
“Personally, I think one of the best things is to see people be loving parents who are there for their children as much as possible. That’s the ultimate home drive,” a person wrote.
“17 Homemade and Feeding of Your Child … It’s Boss Status,” another added.
“I’m sure that with a ballplayer’s schedule he won’t get to give his child a bottle so often … Maybe it’s something he won’t miss if he doesn’t need, or maybe he would give his wife a break. Good on him to be a father,” read a separate post.
