Anthony Servideo is keeping the family business alive.
The former Ole Miss shortstop was taken by the Baltimore Orioles in the third round of this year’s MLB Draft. In doing so, Servideo will get the opportunity to play for the same organization as his grandfather.
Curt Blefary played for the Orioles from 1965 to 1968 in the first four seasons of his MLB career, which lasted for seven years total. Getting the chance to play at the next level was always the goal for Servideo, but he said doing so with the same ball club as his grandfather is a bit surreal.
