Just cuz i'm curious like that, i looked up the dad's baseball career. Not shabby. He played in the majors through 15 seasons (save 1 he took out to play pro in Japan), and spent many more years as a coach and player/manager in other leagues. He also played for the World Champ 67 Cards and went with the Phillies (a team close to my heart) to the Pennant in '76. He batted over .260 in the majors, averaging something like 6 home runs and 35 RBIs a season.

Turns out Robbie was also a ball player, likely coming up in the minors. It's up for debate as to weather or not the gunshot wound will end his career.

This is all ancillary curiosity, as i said, but interesting to me. These are the lives affected by this.
