Ken Griffey Jr. and Sandy Alomar?     Lots of Alous out there but not quite HOF.

Correct!  Lot of Boone's as well, but not HOF worthy.

Glad to be thinking of baseball!

I might also add one other opinion, which may not be well accepted.  There should be an additional son that is in the HOF,  Barry Bonds!  I may not like Barry, as he never played for the Cubbies, but the dude could hit the ball...and hit it perhaps better than any person I watched in person.  He was great before steroid's and obviously the use of 'roids accentuated his HR totals and likely extended his career...but he was a HOF prior to his lapse in judgement.  (His dad was Bobby Bonds, and he too, was an extremely talented player).

I thought about mentioning the Bonds, but since Barry is not in the Hall, I omitted them.   I was a big fan of Bobby Bonds growing up; loved the Giants when they had Mays, McCovey, Marichal, Cepeda, and Gaylord Perry.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was selected by the Expos in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft. Who was selected No. 1 overall that year?

Erstad?

Correct.  Sort of puts things in a bit of perspective as to how long Brady has been playing.

Brady would have been drafted as a H.S. senior in '95. Erstad was a 3rd year Husker, and national champ punter!
