Son of former NY Mets player and playoff hero drafted by the Twins in Round 6

In “want to feel old” news, the son of a former New York Mets player has been drafted by the Minnesota Twins. Nothing makes a fan feel older than seeing the offspring of a player follow in their father’s footsteps. The latest is Bruin Agbayani.

It doesn’t take much detective work to realize who his father is. Certainly not Filipino comedian Bayani Agbayani. Our very own Benny Agbayani whose walk-off home run in the 2000 NLDS is the one Bruin calls daddy.

Baseball has another Agbayani, this time he’s with the Twins organization

For the sake of distinction, I’m going to get informal here.
