I guess I let the thread go this time. Here's one that might be tough.
What major leaguer's father batted 3rd in High School, with Ted Williams batting 4th? The father also played a year of minor league ball and worked for a number of years at Williams' summer camps. As a hint, the major leaguer in question played from 1981-1989.

A man has to have goals — for a day, for a lifetime — and that was mine, to have people say, "There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived." |

Another hint. He also hit the 1st homer in the Metrodome.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

I take that back, due to the Metrodome hint...
Tim Laudner?
(If I'm right, which seems unlikely, somebody else ask the next one because I probably won't be on here tomorrow)

Right era, right position, right team. Wrong player.

I'll take a shot- Dave Engle of the Twins, he had the first HR and first hit in the Metrodome.

It was Dave Engle. His father Roy was friends with Ted Williams from high school for many years after.
