Alex Rodriguez’s Nephew Hits 8 Homers In A Row

Say what you will about A-rod we now have more proof he was genetically good even before he found the PED's. Joe Dunand is a senior at Miami's Gulliver Prep who went 10 for 12 with 9 home runs which included 8 home runs in his last 8 at bats during a five game tournament. Joe also happens to be the nephew of suspended Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.

At 18 years old Dunand was just named MVP of the Horizon National Tournament in Scottsdale, Arizona. I know we're all sick of A-rod and anything he's ever been near BUT if this kid keeps on this path showing both power and a flare for the dramatic, I'm willing to make an exception and fit him for pinstripes.
