Trey, a graduate of the University of Arizona, hasn't played in a professional baseball game and it appears he won't be following in his legendary father's footsteps. "Junior" spent 22 years in the big leagues accumulating 630 home runs, 1,836 RBIs, and had a career .907 OPS, which included the 1997 AL MVP award.
