ESPN article on Markakis and Flaherty

[esmd]

I felt this was Oriole related enough to put here - the mods can move if they disagree.  I had no idea Markakis and Flaherty were related by marriage.  I found it to be a fun read.

Really neat article, thanks for sharing.

Makes me miss Nick even more, but that's ok.  I hope he has a playoff run this year in ATL.

Just read this and posted it in the Markakis thread in the other forum, but I do think most O’s fans will get a kick out of this article.   The photo at the top is hilarious!

Was just about to post this. I had no idea they were in-laws

I miss these guys, but I'm glad they got out when they did and are on a team where they have a chance to win.  The Braves have been improving and their minor league structure is solid.

Aside from that one teeny issue they had.

Good article.   I wonder why local press never mentioned they married sisters.   Two guys who were team first.

I remember reading it at some point.  Can't tell you when or where.
