Any proper New Yorker knows who Lin-Manuel Miranda is.
The famed actor, rapper, songwriter, and Broadway legends is practically a Big Apple institution. From “In the Heights” to “Hamilton” to some fun Disney tunes for the kids, he’s left his mark on the world as well as the city.
But what we didn’t know is that Miranda has a pro baseball player for a cousin. His name is Jose Miranda and his Minnesota Twins are playing the Yankees in the Bronx this week.
