If you want to feel old, well, take note of how many children of former New York Mets are now playing professional sports. Two notable juniors are now in the highest league of their respective sport, dominating the competition.
In MLB, there’s Ronald Acuna of the Atlanta Braves. The son of a former Mets prospect of the same name, he had a stellar rookie year.
Back in 1999, Acuna’s father began his playing career with the organization. He stuck with them through 2004, actually putting up some productive numbers on the farm. By his own admission, a lack of discipline toward practice, hustle, and getting in shape led to his demise.
