In your report on baseball players who had relatives in the recent major league draft (PLAYERS, June 20), you might also have included Andy Van Slyke. The former outfielder, who played mostly for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates, had two sons drafted: Scott Van Slyke, a centerfielder and recent graduate of St. Louis's John Burroughs School, was selected in the 14th round by the Dodgers, and older brother A.J., a junior outfielder at Kansas, was taken by the Cardinals in the 23rd round.
