Mark Schlereth-Daniel Schlereth making NFL-MLB history

ESPN football analyst Mark Schlereth, the winner of three Super Bowl rings, might be making Major League Baseball history within the next few days. That's if his son Daniel Schlereth pitches for the Arizona Diamondbacks. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, if the younger Schlereth, a lefty, pitches for the D'backs, he and his father will become the sixth father-son combination to either played in the NFL or the MLB. If he pitches, it is expected to be in relief. Schlereth was the 26th overall pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks last June. In the Double-A ball this season, Schlereth has three saves with a 1.42 ERA. He also has 21 strikeouts in 19 innings.

The elder Schlereth, a lineman, won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos and one with the Washington Redskins. The other tandems include the likes of Baseball Hall of Famers Lou Brock and Yogi Berra. Here are the other father-son tandems:
    Father - Son
    Yogi Berra (MLB) - Tim Berra (NFL)
    Lou Brock (MLB) - Lou Brock (NFL)
    Jack Snow (NFL) - J.T. Snow (MLB)
    Lee Gross (NFL) - Gabe Gross (MLB)
    Don Patterson (NFL) - Corey Patterson (MLB)
    Mark Schlereth (NFL) - Daniel Schlereth (MLB)
Schlereth's first game in an Arizona uniform was Friday. He did not play in the team's loss. The D'backs play the Atlanta Braves this weekend. Sports Arizona reports that Mark Schlereth was Twittering at the game Friday. Among the Tweets, "Daniel is getting warm in the pen and i’m about sick! nervous daddy!"
