Houston Astros draft Jacoby Jones... kind of

Texans wide receiver Jacoby Jones didn't get drafted by the Houston Astros on Tuesday, but a high school baseball player with the same name did.

Richton, Miss., native Jacoby Jones, who is committed to play baseball at LSU, was **selected in the 19th round of the Major League Baseball Draft** on Tuesday. He has no relation to the Texans' fourth-year wide receiver out of Lane College.

According to the Houston Chronicle, the baseball-playing Jones is going to be a "signing nightmare" for the Astros. If the Astros do manage to bring him in, Texans wide receiver David Anderson and Rockets center **David Andersen** will have some company in the unrelated-Houston-professional-athletes-who-share-the-same-name club.
