L.A. Times:  Andre Ethier is swing man in Dodgers’ lineup

Ethier, however, can’t be bothered with such details. For as long as he can remember, baseball was about an afternoon with his dad. And though he’s on a much bigger stage now, it’s still all about having fun and trying to get better.

“I don’t ever think about that stuff,” he says of his newfound stardom. “I don’t go about wanting attention for certain things. It’s just going out there and enjoying playing and getting an opportunity to play every day.”

Back in Arizona, a father searches for a way to describe his feelings.

“I guess pride is the right word,” he finally says. “I couldn’t be more proud of him.”

TFA says Ethier's grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather all played minor league ball. Unfortunately it doesn't give the names for the two older ones. If the BB-Ref database is to be trusted, then their surname wasn't Ethier.

One of them was Joe Pierre.
