2nd generation rbi'ers

[Gwynn3k]

how about a category in the watn for second generation players such as bob boone's two sons, bret and aaron,  jose cruz' son, jose jr., mookie's step-son, preston, and tony armas' son, tony jr.,

[Gantry]

That's a quality idea, they've been added to the page.  Are those all of them?

[Gwynn3k]

depends,  i didnt include the atari version... if i think of any others i'll let you know on this thread.

[Gwynn3k]

while researching the tengen rosters, i noticed that you have a pitcher by the name of bob sutton,  is that intentional?  how about pert plus sutton, or bad grey hair weave sutton...?

[Gwynn3k]

if we were to include the atari, then bobby bonds and ken griffey would be added to the list...  along with tony perez' son eduardo.  however, i dont think any other players from the atari have made it to the watn... these are just a few more names you can drop to impress your friends when engaged in some rbi competition...

[Gantry]

Changed the Cali page to Don Sutton, thanks for the heads up...

I typically leave the Atari players off pages like the watn because most people are more familiar with the Tengen verison....

I believe Tim Raines has a son, Tim Raines jr.  In fact, i think they play on the same team.

[Gantry]

Tim Raines Sr. is on Florida and TIm Raines Jr. isn't on ESPN's player list for this year.  Perhaps he is in the minors?

[Gwynn3k]

raines jr is with baltimore's AAA team in rochester... he and his dad did play on the same team last september...  what a nice feel good story... too bad that dad is still better than his son even though he is twice his age... rock on timmy raines!

...was looking at for the top 100 prospects according to baseball america for bonny and noticed Chet's boy on the All American HS list:

Ryne Sandberg's son was in the bigs for a while.
Nolan's son (Reid) was in the minors (ie I have a baseball card of him).  Don't think he ever made it to the show though.

[ultimate7]

It was Sandberg's nephew

[BDawk]

yeah, his son probably isn't even his. A teammate is probably the actual father

[Stock]

It was Sandberg's nephew

my bad.  would he still qualify?

[Big Hath]

It was Sandberg's nephew

my bad.  would he still qualify?

I would say not . . . that is unless the offspring was a result of Sandberg having sex with his sister, then I guess it would be ok

Is his signature a mathematical formula?

Marcus Lemon, son of Chester Lemon.  You would never guess they were black.

[TβG]

Is his signature a mathematical formula?

it almost looks thai.  "tony pena talk thai, real well"
