Talk:Cam Bonifay

From BR Bullpen

I see a Bob Bonifay playing in 1971. Searching on the internet, I see that Cam's father was Bob. Was there a Bob Jr.? - --Mischa 08:24, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

Are we sure Ken Bonifay is a son? Cam's bio in the Reds media guide mentions Josh and five other children but no Ken. -Chisoxfan 17:24, 16 April 2011 (EDT)

I've always seen him so listed in Pirates discussions. I see that Cam had a brother Ken. Maybe this Ken was really a nephew? - --Mischa 13:53, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

I think nephew may be right. Cam would have only been 18 and a college student when the younger Ken was born, so he could possibly be his father, but I think uncle may be more likely. This obituary of Bonifay's mother lists a Ken among her sons and a Brannon Bonifay (this guy?) among her sons. -Chisoxfan 20:31, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

I found that Cam's brother Brannon was a scout for Arizona and Pittsburgh. Still trying to see if he was the minor leaguer. - --Mischa 08:52, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

This page lists Ken Jr. as a nephew and Brannon as graduating Georgia Tech in 1971, which fits http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=bonifa001rob - --Mischa 09:16, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

It appears Cam has quite the family... His dad Bob was a longtime minor league executive according to this article. -Chisoxfan 20:32, 18 April 2011 (EDT)
