This week's Spotlight focuses on the Austin, Texas-based rock band White Denim, which is scheduled to play Club Congress Saturday.
White Denim's lead singer is James Petralli, whose father is former major league catcher Geno Petralli.
Geno Petralli played 12 seasons for the Rangers and Blue Jays.
Petralli led all of baseball in passed balls with 35 in 1987, 20 in 1988, and 20 in 1990. His 35 passed balls established a Major League single-season record.
Most of Petralli's past balls occurred when he was catching a famous knuckleball pitcher.
For a chance to win an audio book tell us the name of that knuckleballer, who pitched until he was 46 years old.

Getzwiller gets third cash at WSOP

Already the only local player with two cashes at this year’s World Series of Poker, Tucsonan Sean Getzwiller reaffirmed his placement as the top Southern Arizona rounder at the 2009 WSOP by picking up a third cash over the weekend.
And, in the process, just missed out on his first final table appearance.
The 26-year-old Getzwiller took 10th place in a $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Eight-or-Better event, earning $15,664 in the process. That gave him $25,176 in prize money for his three cashes (the other two were in No-Limit Hold’Em events) and also pushed then Tucson-area prize haul this year over $100,000.
Getzwiller, who now lives in Las Vegas, also secured sponsorship by a Connecticut-based player management group called Top Set.
