Family ties on the Pan American baseball team were strong as the Broncs had three brothers on the squad. The Tyrone brothers played for the Broncs in 1970-1972 and 1976-1979. The first Tyrone to be named a Bronc was James Tyrone who played in 1970 and '71. He currently holds the number-three spot in the record books in batting average with a .363 and the number-six spot in stolen bases with 71. In his tenure with the Broncs, he recorded eight triples. James was also a part of the 1971 College World Series team where he was named an All-American, for the second consecutive season. In 1971, he stole 51 bags and was walked on 50 occasions. After his stint with the Broncs, Tyrone signed a professional baseball contract with the Cubs and played in 1972, '74-'75 and the A's in 1977.
