I think one of the earliest incarnations of OOTP had the option of spawning descendants and relatives of ballplayers - my first experience with OOTP, though, was with version 8, so it predates that.

I'm not sure how the game handled sons and grandsons in fictional leagues. It's still something that people request from time to time, but the developers haven't shown much interest in restoring it to the game. In any event, it's relatively easy to go into commissioner mode and change a player's name to "Babe Ruth III" or something like that, so I can understand if it's not a big priority. As it is, such multi-generational baseball families are fairly rare in real life. It seems like most sons of superstar fathers flame out early in their careers or never pursue baseball.
