Happy Father's Day!

1985 Topps #133 Ray/Bob Boone (F&S)
  
A rare Sunday post to wish my many of  fellow collectors out there a Happy Father's Day! Did you know there are 28 guys who have played a game this year (actually 26 - 2 guys are on the IL) who are second-generation players? I didn't realize there were so many!

#FS-BB Bob/Brett Boone
 
If Topps ever decides to do another 1985 Topps-style Father & Son subset, (or insert set in the case of  2016 Topps Archives), they have the following pairs to choose from:

  • Clay and Cody Bellinger
  • Dante and Bo Bichette
  • Craig and Cavan Biggio
  • Mickey and Michael Brantley
  • Roger and Kody Clemens
  • Cris and C.J. Cron
  • Luis and Luis Garcia
  • Tom  and Nick Gordon
  • Vladimir and Vladimir (Jr.) Guerrero
  • Mark and Dalton Guthrie
  • Bryan and Hunter Harvey
  • Charlie and Ke'Bryan Hayes
  • Fernando and Jonathan Hernandez
  • Mark and Mark (Jr.) Leiter
  • Lance and Lance (Jr.) McCullers
  • Brian and Hoby Milner
  • Raul and Adalberto Mondesi
  • Phil and Tyler Nevin
  • Stu and Joc Pederson
  • Geronimo and Jeremy Pena
  • Paul and Cal Quantrill
  • Ivan and Dereck Rodriguez
  • Larry and Gavin Sheets
  • Fernando and Fernando (Jr.) Tatis
  • Brian and Brice Turang
  • Gary and Daulton Varsho
  • Tim and Chad Wallach
  • Bobby and Bobby (Jr.) Witt
 
Of course, I'd also have to mention the legendary grandfather-grandson pairing of Carl and Mike Yastrzemski! (Bonus Happy Father's Day to you grandfathers out there!)

    Mike Yastrzemski's dad played minor league ball. Has a couple of cards.
