Relativity

[Guest AG/DC]

More than one source has Joe Pignatano "related to" his tomato successor John Franco, but I can't find the specifics of the relationship

[Chad ochoseis]

David Segui, son of relief pitcher and Ball Four bit player Diego Segui.

[Guest AG/DC]

I think this guy is a member of the Alfonzo clan, Edgar and Edgardo's brother, and a current scout for the team.

[Guest AG/DC]

George Stone, cousin of Cecil Upshaw.

[Guest AG/DC]

Darren Oliver, son of Bob Oliver, who played three National League games in his life, one an old fashioned beatdown of the Mets, where he came in as a late-game sub for Roberto Clemente.

Also playing for the Bucs that day was a pitcher named Tommie Wayne Sisk, who doesn't appear to be related to Doug.

I was poking around Baseball Reference and noticed that former Mets announcing bore Fran Healy had an uncle who was also a mediocre MLB catcher. Named Francis X. Healy, played for the NY Giants and the Cardinals in the early 1930's.

Len Dykstra's uncle, NHL star Tony Leswick.



Len Dystra's great-uncle, Jack "Newsy" Leswick, who drowned in Winnipeg "on or about" August 7, 1934. He got his nickname because "he always had news to tell."



Still looking for a picture of Lenny's grandfather, "Pistol" Pete Leswick.

Matt Lawton, brother of Marcus Lawton.

Also, I notice you don't have the Leiters linked, or Mel Rojas linked to the Alou clan.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ike Davis, son of Ron Davis.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Alex Cora, brother of Joey Cora.

Jonh Olerud, cousin of Dale Sveum.

Had no idea.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Me neither until I did some digging today. The nerve of them saying I'm not a productive employee.

[Fman99]

Larry Bowa is the uncle of Nick Johnson[/quote:2x9m9bh0]

I just read this again today and had forgotten that this was the case.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pedro Martinez, brother of Ramon Martinez and cousin of Denny Bautista.

Mel Rojas was the spawn of the Devil.
I would hate to guilt-by-associate the Alous by bringing that up, Edgy.

If the UMDB were to limit itself to factory-approved True and Beloved Mets, it would become rather pointless.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I appreciate your postings to this thread, Edgy. One of these days I'm going to have to sit down and go through them all and get them posted.

Ramon had himself a fine career and a few really good seasons.

There I go getting obscure again. (Slapping my own wrist)
This thread was about relatives of Mets players, and I was trying to make a joke about Mel Rojas being the offspring of Satan.
Missed big time, I guess.
Memo to self : more obvious humor.
Memo to JohnCougar: This one deserves one (you know what I mean)

Later

[Guest Edgy DC]

I understood the joke.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jos� Cardenal, cousin of Bert Campaneris.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, God help those guys that wait until their late thirties to have kids. Must be exhausting.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hank Webb is one of those names that go back for me. Him and Chuck Taylor were like the first Mets I feel like I discovered on my own.
