Crying Uncle

[Edgy MD]

With Deven Marrero debuting in blue and orange today, he becomes the latest nephew of a Met to play for the Mets.



Top of my head, I've got:

• Deven Marrero, nephew of Eli Marrero


• Preston Wilson, nephew (and stepson) of Mookie Wilson


• Moisés Alou, nephew of Jesús Alou


• [CROSSOUT]Moisés Alou, nephew of Matty Alou[/CROSSOUT]


• Mel Rojas, nephew of of Jesús Alou


• [CROSSOUT]Mel Rojas, nephew of of Matty Alou[/CROSSOUT]


• [CROSSOUT]Mel Rojas, nephew of of Felipe Alou[/CROSSOUT]


• Pete Falcone, nephew of Joe Pignatano


• Garry Sheffield, nephew of Dwight Gooden

I'm not counting minor leaguers (or there would be 43 Alfonzos and 22 Chavezes), but there have to be some obvious ones I'm missing there, correct?

Matty Alou didn't play for the Mets. Neither did Felipe.



Both played for the MFYs, though.

I don't know why I got carried away with the Aloujis. It was late. Of course, Jesús was the lone Met from that generation, and Mel Rojas and Moisés were his nephewes.

I must have known that Smell Blojas was kin to the Alous but that

memory now escapes me at the present time.



(I think I really just wanted to type Smell Blojas)

Felipe Alou was married four times and had numerous kids.

40% of the league is related to him.

Finally, Mel Rojas is good for something.

I lol'ed at "hey, yanks score a run"

Is that a plea or an observation?
