Honk Honk,
ArmchairGM user Carl Shimkin was published in USA Today Online 7/13/06 for his Father/Son List. His contribution is part of their article on Gary Matthews Jr. Shimkin has put together the most comprehensive list of children of present and ex-Major Leaguers playing in the Minor Leagues today. There are over 70 names on the list grouped into common thread categories. There are also some other interesting family blood lines included on this List For The Ages.
Personal Note
I despise doing my own PR, but I think this is apropos since the goal of this site for many of us is to segue into professional journalism. And forgive me if I sound like Don King, my intention is to boost the confidence of the many talented writers we have on this site. With enough persistence Armchair is just an arm's length away from the national media, even though a lot of the stuff on Armchair in my opinion is better!
To view the article just look in the left column under the subsection BASEBALL'S FAMILY TREE. You'll see a brief description of me and a link to my article and list. Here's the link to the USA Today article:
