Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this thing I was digging into the other day – the whole Jackson Holliday and his dad deal. You know, the baseball player? Yeah, so I started looking into it, and man, it’s pretty interesting how these things play out.
So, first off, I was reading up on Jackson Holliday, right? Turns out, his dad, Tom, is a big-shot baseball coach at Oklahoma State. But get this – he never pushed Jackson into baseball. Can you believe it? I mean, with a dad like that, you’d think it’d be all baseball, all the time. But no, Tom let Jackson and his brothers, Josh and Matt, do their own thing.
- Started digging into Jackson Holliday’s background.
- Found out his dad, Tom, is a baseball coach at Oklahoma State.
- Discovered Tom never forced his sons into baseball.
But, you know, the boys, they still spent a lot of time around the college with their dad. I guess just being around the game, it kinda rubs off on you. I checked out some articles and, yeah, they were pretty much always around baseball growing up. They call families like these ‘baseball rats’ which is kind of funny, you gotta admit.
- Checked some articles about the Holliday family.
- Learned they were often around baseball growing up.
The Number 7
Then I stumbled upon this thing about their jersey numbers. You know how some families have these traditions? Well, apparently, Matt and Jackson both wore number 7. That’s like a whole legacy thing right there. And it’s not just them, I found other famous father-son duos who did the same thing. It got me thinking, it’s like passing the torch, you know? Pretty cool stuff.
- Stumbled upon the fact that Matt and Jackson both wore number 7.
- Found other father-son duos with the same tradition.
And then, I found some article about how some baseball legend’s dad was best friends with another legend, and the kid, Mike, got batting lessons from some MLB legends. It’s like a whole world out there where baseball is more than just a game, it’s like, in their blood or something. They call these guys baseball royalty. Man, imagine your godfather is baseball royalty!
- Read about another baseball player who grew up with MLB legends.
So, yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to. Just diving into this baseball family stuff. It’s way more interesting than I thought it would be. Makes you think about how much your family and your upbringing can shape what you end up doing, you know? Anyway, I just thought I’d share my little exploration with you all. It’s pretty fascinating stuff, even if you’re not a huge baseball fan.
- Reflected on how family influences a person’s path.
- Shared my findings with you all.
