Ainge? Any relation to the great Celtics player Danny Ainge?
Decent possibility. Danny was a BYU graduate and, briefly, played baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays before he decided to concentrate on basketball. One of the few white men who could jump.
I bet they are related.
Google him.. He is Danny’s boy. Spitting image too.
He played high school basketball for North Eugene, in Oregon. A friend of mine made “Don’t cry, Danny” signs for their games against us.
Went to North Eugene with his older brother. The Ainge family is very large in Mormon states.
Danny’s heydey as an NBA star seems like only yesterday, so it is bizarre to me that he has a kid pushing 40. But here we are.
