Angels draft GM Dipoto's son in 38th round

ANAHEIM -- Jerry Dipoto's seat in the Angels' Draft room was situated right next to Kathy Mair, who was responsible for phoning each of the team's selections to Major League Baseball. Every time a pick was ready, a tag with the amateur player's name would sit right next to Dipoto, ready for Mair to read out with the next pick.

When it came time for Mair to call in the Angels' 38th-round selection, though, the tag was missing.

"They hid it from my view so I couldn't know what they were doing, then they called the name," Dipoto said.
