Makes sense

From the Peoria Journal Star...

A Catching Name
Son of Cubs telecaster is well-equipped behind Chiefs plate

Growing up, Michael Brenly wanted to be a catcher for one reason. He liked wearing his father’s equipment.

“I think like a lot of little kids he gravitated to the position that had the most equipment,” Michael’s father, Bob Brenly, said earlier this season when the Peoria Chiefs — for whom his son catches — played in Milwaukee’s Miller Park.

“I remember his running around the house as a little kid with my shin guards,’’ said the elder Brenly, a former all-star major-league catcher. “They went from the shoulder down to the floor, but he would strap them on and wear them around the house.”
Brenly (Michael) and the rest of the Chiefs will be at Time Warner Cable Field for the second half opener on June 25.
