by JoshReese92099 - 22 cards (Last updated on Nov 17, 2017)

This list is of athletes related to celebrities, but to keep the list short, I didn't include any athletes with famous wives or siblings who are famous as athletes, only nonsports celebrities.

11. 1966 Topps #124 Tug McGraw

Everybody knows that Tug's son Tim is a very popular country singer and actor.

12. 1973 Topps #43 Randy Moffitt

His sister is Billie Jean King, famous tennis player and Battle of the Sexes winner against Bobby Riggs.

13. 2005 Topps #303 Brandon Moss

This is a bit of a stretch but Moss is a distant cousin of country singer Alan Jackson.

14. 1964 Topps #125 Pete Rose

Another case of the player being way more famous than his relative, but his daughter Cara is a tv actress on a couple of well-known shows.

More well-known than his cousin, Henry Slaughter, who was a gospel musician.

Uncle of Butch Trucks, founding member of the Allman Brothers Band. His great-nephew, Derek Trucks was also a member of the Allman Brothers Band and is arguably one of the greatest slide-guitarists of all time. Derek's brother and Virgil's great-nephew is Duane Trucks, a drummer for the band Widespread Panic.

I never knew Virgil Trucks was related to Derek Trucks. Easily my favorite slide-guitarist. Thanks for the info!

Wow, the cool and odd stuff people come up with. Well done. I probably knew about five of these, somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind.

Awesome list. Despite probably the least known on the list, I didn't know Mike and Jonny Diaz were brothers. Thats pretty cool.

I'm not sure if you include wrestlers on the list, but Sasha Banks is related to Snoop Dogg (first cousins) and also Brandy and Ray J (not sure how, but its on wikipedia and confirmed from a tweet she wrote).
