"Former UCLA star Maya Brady was selected at No. 1 overall by the Oklahoma City Spark in this week's Athletes Unlimited Softball League expansion draft. That's 18 spots higher than she was selected by the Talons in the second-year league's inaugural draft in January - and 198 spots higher than her uncle was famously selected by the New England Patriots in the 2000 NFL draft."
"Maya Brady has a long way to go before reaching the same status in softball, but she has steadily been making a name for herself for a long time. Her mother, Maureen Brady (Tom's oldest sister), was 111-10 as a pitcher at San Mateo Hillsdale High from 1988-91 and went on to become an All-American at Fresno State. Having played softball since age 4, Maya Brady joined the prestigious Orange County Batbusters club program when she was 10."
