    Baseball Almanac suggestion-- ie; family members

    I'm wondering if the player pages of Baseball Almanac could include links to family members who are also in the Almanac. For example, on the Aaron Boone page, could there also be links such as

    Siblings
    Bret Boone

    Father
    Bob Boone

    Grandfather
    Ray Boone

    I think you could limit it to just direct family members like brothers/fathers/grandfathers, and leave out cousins like Sheffield/Gooden

    What say you Webmaster?

    Presuming Webmaster likes this suggestion, why would we wish to limit it to only immediate family members? I think -- again if the idea is well accepted, I think there'd be nothing wrong with including cousins, uncles, even godfathers.

    Just throwing my thoughts into the mix.
    Put it in the books.

    Only wanted to not make it too complicated is all.

    I like the idea. I think the less direct the relations listed the more interesting the project would become.

    Maybe if the webmaster likes the idea, a thread could be created here at BBF to list as many of the relations as are known, to take some of the leg work out of creating it.

    That section is already on the site and quite comprehensive:

    The Baseball Family Tree

    Hope you enjoy it!
