    Relatives in professional sports

    Does anyone here have any relatives that played in professional sports?
    My great uncle was a baseball player who played in the 70's.

    I have a few of his baseball cards, including one from 78 (his last year.)

    Danny Gallivan (HNIC announcer) was either my dad's or my uncle's godfather.

    As for actually playing at a high level, my cousin plays Junior B hockey. That's about it I think.

    Re: Relatives in professional sports

    As far as relatives, Henke is all I got.

    People that I know?

    Blake DeWitt
    Scott Cooper (retired)
    Tyler Hansbourough

    People I have met before they became professionals, or have been around not at the ballpark?

    Roland Williams
    Ryan Howard
    Jamal Mayers
    Jim Edmonds
    Stan Musial
    Al Hrabosky
    Scott Rolen
    Jose Oquendo (made friends with his twins)
    Ozzie
    etc etc etc the list is long.

    Roland Williams was earlier this summer, got to know him pretty well, he is a fantastic person, not what I expected at all.

    Most of those are from working at Bank of America in Ladue in St. Louis...and I got to know them all pretty well, it was a great time!

    My dads uncle played for the Reds minor league system. I know Jeff Francoeur.

    I also know a handful of OHL players, but so does every other 18 year old in Canada.

    I didn't say it was easy, just that it shouldn't be called a sport.
