It's Jeff Conine's kid.
On the same tack - was the #1 pick a relative of Johnny Mize?
If so, probably is great grandson.

I think this is a common feeling, but throughout my life I've always felt younger than I actually am. I remember in my mid 20's being weirded out that it would be totally acceptable for me to be married and have a kid.

My wife and I both agree that after about 35 we didn't change how old we thought we were until about now (20+ years later) when things start to hurt for no reason what-so-f'n-ever and people start treating you like the old fart you are.

I am also age-dysmorphic. I'm 32 and only now am realizing that it would be very unremarkable for me to be married and have a kid. My older sister has been married with kids since she was 19 and I was 16, so literally half my life, but I still felt like if I was married with kids I'd look and feel like a little kid wearing his dad's suit and shoes despite never feeling like it was weird for her.

I used to look way younger than my age but now I think I look every bit of my age, if not older. The only thing keeping my self esteem afloat is that I actually get more attention from women now than I ever did before.
