I knew Mookie was a stepfather, but he's Preston's uncle as well?

The Wil-Son Fam-i-Lee (snap, snap):

- Prior to being married to Mookie, Mookie's wife Rosa was married to one of Mookie's brothers
- That marriage didn't last long, but it did last long enough to produce young Preston
- Once the marriage broke-up, she then married Mookie (hey, we're talking small town South Carolina here) who raised Preston as his own son since as long as Preston can remember

So;
From a personal standpoint - they are father and son
From a legal one - they are step-father and step-son
From a biological one - they are uncle and nephew



Got it now? -- there'll be a quiz later.

And, as they were married, I believe, at home plate in Jackson, MS, I guess there's a good chance they were married by Chad Bradford's father, who, if'n' I recall correctly, was the J-Mets' chaplain.

I wonder if Shake Moore was at the reception.

I think 'Moneyball' told the story that it was Bradford's HS coach - not father - who doubled as his local minister and later as minor league team chaplain.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, you may be right.

Bradford's father, recovering from a stroke, threw the ball underhanded when they played catch, unintentionally teaching his son the motion.
