FanPost Friday: Degrees of separation from a player

We have all heard of the “six degrees of Kevin Bacon” a theory that suggests every actor in Hollywood is a mere six degrees of film connection from Kevin Bacon.

“My grandfather’s podiatrist was Mickey Mantle’s nephew” or something along those lines, is not an out of the question brag when it comes to baseball fans wanting to feel a little more connected to their favorite players.

So in this week’s FanPost Friday challenge, we want to know just how connected you are to a famous player.
