I mentioned earlier this week that University of South Carolina pitcher Parker Bangs is a grandson of former major leaguer Jack Aker. I reported it because that's what USC's announcers said on a broadcast over the weekend.
In chatting with Bangs' dad during Wednesday's game with Charleston Southern, he said the report was inaccurate. Aker is the stepfather of Bangs' mother, not Bangs' grandfather.
I apologize for passing along misinformation.
