I did not know that

SPORTING GOODS

I am sure that other contributors to this site knew this, but I just found out that the Mets' starting pitcher today, Brian Bannister, is the son of Floyd Bannister.

Even though Bannister was basically an average pitcher, I remember him, and that somehow is enough for me to think slightly higher of his son. I guess that makes me "nepotistic," as a caller into NY1's sports show once said.
