Repack Haiku #178 (B.J. Surhoff)

His dad played for Knicks
Uncle to Moran brothers
Brother Rich played too 

1987 Topps #216 B.J. Surhoff (FS, RC)

Talk about an athletic family! His brother Rich pitched in 9 games during the 1985 season, and was involved in the trade that sent Dave Stewart from the Rangers to the Phillies. His nephews Brian and Colin Moran played this year for the Marlins and Pirates respectively. His dad wasn't a baseball player, but did spend two seasons playing in the NBA!
