I am not sure if this is off topic or not. If it is i appologize. My question is are there any ball players that play today or in the last 20 years related to players from the early 1900s - 1930s. I know of the modern players of today. If this is off topic kindly remove thanks much. Have great Sunday all.

Ernie Orsatti, the centerfielder for the Gas House Gang worked in Hollywood. There is an Ernie Orsatti that appears in many of the credits for David E. Kelley TV shows listed as a stunt coordinator. I have to believe he's related.
