One of the McCourts, anyway. From Eric Sondheimer at the Fabulous Forum (via Dodger Thoughts):
Gavin McCourt, the son of Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, was drafted in the 39th round Thursday by the Boston Red Sox. Will Scott Boras do the negotiating?McCourt was an all-league outfielder at North Hollywood Harvard-Westlake this season who's hoping to walk-on at Stanford.
"I'm shocked," McCourt said of being selected in the draft. "I didn't see that coming."
Asked about negotiations, McCourt said, "I don't think Scott Boras would fit well into the family dynamics. I think I'll let my dad represent me."
UPDATE: The Red Sox are into famous offspring:

39th rounders always sign for the big dough.
Good luck at Stanford, kid.
What's wrong, all of Frankie's pull couldn't get his son into Hah-vahd?

Sax,
What's that rule about drinking and (double) posting?
I've always wanted to go to Stanford, just so I could take a leak on that giant tree.
