fanofthefish Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The year was 2000. The first player taken in the draft was first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. The 886th player taken in the 30th round was infielder Edgar Gonzalez. Adrian quickly made his way up the ladder and reached the majors at the age of 22. Brother Edgar didn't struggle on the field, but he didn't make it to the major leagues until Monday night. The Gonzalez brothers were reunited in the visitor's clubhouse at Wrigley Field in Chicago after the Padres called up Edgar from Class AAA Portland. And it was hard to tell which brother was happier as they awaited the arrival of parents David and Alba from San Diego. It took awhile but he's finally in the show, he put up some great numbers in AAA for us the one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Altamonte Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 We should have never released Edgar, He hit everywhere he played. I always felt he would have been an outstanding utility player for us. I wish him nothing but the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianneLove Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 They look a lot alike. Also... does San Diego like having brothers on their teams or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
