Weiss supporting sons' big league dreams

DENVER -- Rockies manager Walt Weiss realized the baseball dream during a 14-season career. Now two of his sons are trying to live theirs, only with doses of reality that come from witnessing their father's life in the game.

Brody Weiss, 21, is an infielder from Riverside (Calif.) College, who this week joined the Waterloo Bucks of the Northwoods League, a collegiate wood-bat circuit. Brody is looking at continuing his development at the University of Nevada. Weiss' younger son, Bo Weiss, 18, a right-handed pitcher who just graduated from Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, Colo., has signed with the University of North Carolina, and on Saturday, he was selected by the Yankees in the 29th round of the MLB Draft.
