BA's Relatively Speaking

[biedergb]

The annual look at players with family ties to other professional athletes, this year focused on pro baseball and pro football relatives. A few highlights...

 

Tim Dillard, c, Itawamba (Miss.) CC (now signed as DFE?)

Son of Steve, ex-big leaguer (which we all knew already.)

 

Enrique Cruz, 2b, Rice U.

Son of Jose Sr., ex-big leaguer

Would be interesting to have TWO Enrique Cruz's play 2b.

 

Eric Young, 2b, HS--Piscataway, N.J.

Son of Eric, Brewers

Think Dad Eric has any sway with the brass?

 

Joe Gaetti, of, North Carolina State U.

Son of Gary, ex-big leaguer

 

Toby Gardenhire, ss, Arkansas-Fort Smith CC

Son of Ron, Twins manager

 

Brian Schroeder, lhp, HS--El Cajon, Calif.

Son of Jay, ex-NFL QB

Pitches Mon-Fri, throws TD passes on Sunday for the Pack?
