Anyone have relatives in professional sports?

In all seriousness? My cousin just signed as an undrafted free agent to the Oakland Raiders. Chris O'neill is his name. Played TE for Boise St but is getting moved to LB.

[Pat Brown]

I see. The only home run I gave up in my pretty short pitching career was to John Hale in mustang.

[CstSnow]

I am second cousins or something like that with Logan Mankins, OL for the Pats.

[Capital H]

Steve Heinze is my cousin through marriage, he played defense for the bruins. I always thought it was cool to be able to play as him in Wayne Gretzky's 3d Hockey.

Also, the brother of one of my friends plays for the Padres' minor league team.

I thought it was great when Heinze wore 57 with Buffalo

[Capital H]

Yeah, he wanted it in boston but they wouldn't let him have it, so he wore 23 instead. From that point on every time I make my own player in a sports game I've used 23.

[Rdav1193]

Well, I have rlation to one, but I know three.

My dad is an MLB umpire, his name is James Davidson.

My best friend's step-brother is Antoine Winfield, I've eaten dinner with the guy before.

My friend from school's cousin is Larry Fitzgerald, but I've only met him once and only for like ten minutes.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Played football against Cie Grant, who went on to the NFL (Saints)

I played on the same football team as Drew Norman who played on the National Championship Ohio State team...but not sure if he ever got drafted.

My great grandfather was a badass halfback, and was offered a spot in the pros, but had to decline due to the depression, and not making much for football back then.

Also my little cousin Matt Wheeler could make it to the MLB. still a senior in HS this year, but won state and made it semi far after that (nationals?) But he has been getting some interest from what I hear...and is a damn good pitcher

[B00sh]

this thread has the potential to be epic.

[iihungrieii]

.......how?

[Colinreturn]

My grandpa was the very first team doctor for the patriots.
