All in the family - blood relatives who have played in The Show

[Bellhorn04]

When I thought of this, I made a list of all the blood relatives I could think of, from every team. I tried to do it without looking any of them up, unless it was to verify if someone ever played in a major league game. To qualify, you only need to have played in one.

 

Then I realized that if I put up the whole list it would be kind of hogging the thread. So instead I'll just give my list that includes at least one Red Sox player.

 

Fathers and sons, and brothers, obviously. We also have to include grandfathers and sons, for the sake of a certain Red Sox Hall of Famer. Cousins? I think there have been a few, but I couldn't think of them. Anyway, sure, why not.

 

Dom DiMaggio - Joe DiMaggio (HOF)

Ken Brett - George Brett (HOF)

Carl Yastrzemski (HOF) - Mike Yastrzemski

Tony Conigliaro - Billy Conigliaro - played on team at same time

Dante Bichette - Bo Bichette

Pedro Martinez (HOF) - Ramon Martinez - played on team at same time

Jeremy Giambi - Jason Giambi

JD Drew - Stephen Drew - both played on Red Sox

Daniel Bard - Luke Bard

 

One I had to look up was Papelbon. I wasn't sure if Josh ever pitched in the majors. I found out he didn't. I also found out there was another brother, Jeremy who pitched in the minors.

Joe and Dom DiMaggio had another brother named Vince who was also an MLB center fielder, mostly for the Pirates. Not as well known as his siblings, Vince was the oldest of the three. The description of his playing as opposed to his brothers wasoften summed “Joe is the best hitter. Dom is the best fielder. Vince is the best singer.”

Spike Owen’s brother was Dave Owen.

 

Tony Armas’ brother was Marcos Armas (that one I looked up). More importance to us was his son Tony Armas Jr, former Red Sox farmhand famously traded to the Expos for a certain RHP who I think was pretty good...

The weirdest one to me was former Astros 1b Glenn and former Orioles RHSP Storm Davis. They’re not related, but a teenage Glenn Davis ran away from home and moved in with Storm Davis’ family. Storm’s parents formally adopted him..

David Segui. No appearances in “Seinfeld”

The Alou brothers (Felipe, Matty and Jesus) all played for the Giants in 1963. After Jesus came up late that season, the three of them played together in the outfield at the same time a few times, although they never started a game together.

 

Felipe’s son Moises also played in the majors.

Moe, Shemp and Jerome "Curly" Howard; Larry was not a brother, but a Fine fiddler.

Moises was the fielder on the infamous Bartman play.

I am surly I mention of the obvious ones - Barry and Bobby Bonds. Or Cecil and Prince Fielder

 

Father-son trivia: Many people remember when Ken Griffey Jr. and Ken Griffey Sr. made history when they became the first father-son pair to be teammates when both played for the Mariners in 1990. What father-son pair has accomplished this since?

Felipe also had a nephew who played. I think his name was Mel Rojas (?). Felipe was his and son Moises’ manager on the Expos at one point...

[notin]

Former Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke was the brother of former Orioles slugger Gary Roenicke and the uncle to former Reds’ pitcher Josh Roenicke. I think he also had a son-in-law who plays or played...

Kodi Clemens is hitting .333 for the Tigers this spring

 

30th ranked Tigers prospect:

 

Clemens had a pretty strong 2019 in the Florida State League (his .238/.314/.411 line was above league average there), albeit as an old-for-the-level hitter whose sourced, proprietary xStats were below his batting line. He spent his 2020 summer playing in the Constellation Energy League in Texas and didn’t perform especially well there, then finished the year in instructs. Clemens generates consistent hard contact because of the strength in his wrists and hands, he has a low-ball proclivity and can put balls out to left-center. His lower half and hands often appear disconnected, which can result in ugly contact that’s still hit hard because of Clemens’ strength. He’s likely a lower OBP part-time infielder with some pop, capable of playing a passable 3B/2B. His approach was a little loose during 2020 and needs to be more discerning in 2021.
