http://www.baseball-reference.com/minor ... rlin001edw He mentioned on air a couple days ago that he had a brother drafted by the Yanquis right around the same time he, Ron, was being drafted by Texas. No place of birth is given but the age and draft years are about right and the Hawaiian middle name adds evidence as well.

Looks to be him. A switch hitting first baseman who couldn't hit from either side.

I suppose it's only fair to give equal time to Keith's brother

I suppose it's only fair to give equal time to Keith's brother Also lefthanded. That's pretty uncommon. I can't find a picture of Gary Hernandez, but here's a link to a fun piece about him from 1975. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=9 ... 42,2017184 His manager at St. Petersburg thought he might be better than Phil Trombino!

It's like it runs in the family or something. Of course my father was a lefty too yet wound up with five RH'd kids so yaneverknow. I can't find a picture of Gary Hernandez He showed up in the booth at an SF game a couple years back. Let's just say that he doesn't use the product that his brother & Clyde endorse.
