I grew up with her father (step father) and his family. Read the headline and had no idea it was his daughter. Her mother passed away from Cancer about 7 years ago.

Yes, yes it is....it won't happen of course but it was always hilarious to me to see old managers like Don Zimmer, on camera talking and spitting like it was nothing.
