I knew Mookie was a stepfather, but he's Preston's uncle as well?

The Wil-Son Fam-i-Lee (snap, snap): - Prior to being married to Mookie, Mookie's wife Rosa was married to one of Mookie's brothers - That marriage didn't last long, but it did last long enough to produce young Preston - Once the marriage broke-up, she then married Mookie (hey, we're talking small town South Carolina here) who raised Preston as his own son since as long as Preston can remember So; From a personal standpoint - they are father and son From a legal one - they are step-father and step-son From a biological one - they are uncle and nephew Got it now? -- there'll be a quiz later.

And, as they were married, I believe, at home plate in Jackson, MS, I guess there's a good chance they were married by Chad Bradford's father, who, if'n' I recall correctly, was the J-Mets' chaplain.

I wonder if Shake Moore was at the reception.

I think 'Moneyball' told the story that it was Bradford's HS coach - not father - who doubled as his local minister and later as minor league team chaplain.

Yeah, you may be right. Bradford's father, recovering from a stroke, threw the ball underhanded when they played catch, unintentionally teaching his son the motion.
