The Next One? Gretzky's son Trevor follows baseball dreams

CLINTON, Iowa — Trevor Gretzky is known more for his iconic last name than his baseball career.

But Trevor isn't looking to escape his famous father's shadow.

He hopes "The Great One" can help him become "The Next One."

The 22-year-old son of retired NHL star Wayne Gretzky toils in relative anonymity as a left fielder for the Class A Burlington Bees in the Los Angeles Angels farm system.

Beyond those famous seven letters atop the back of his jersey, Gretzky is just another kid hoping to beat the odds and reach the majors.

To do so, Trevor leans heavily on the advice of Wayne, whose passion for baseball has helped fuel his son's career.
