Today's starting pitcher for Lake Elsinore, Brendon Cowsill, is direct offspring of The Cowsills, the popular music group of the late 60's-early 70s. The Cowsills had No. 1 hits with the "Theme from Hair," and "The Rain, the Park and Other Things," and was the inspiration for TV's Partridge Family.
"Yeah, that was my dad Paul, my aunt Susan and uncles Bob and John," said Cowsill. "They were going to be the actual family in the TV show, but they said no after the network insisted on having Shirley Jones play the mother. My family wanted Mom to play Mom."
So which Partridge character was his dad - Keith or Danny?
"I think my dad would have been Susan Dey," Cowsill said.
