Of all the text messages that college athletes receive, San Francisco junior guard Shay Rollins may have received the most interesting one last fall.

"I was in class and I think he either texted me with `MVP 2007' or called me," said Rollins.

While most women's basketball players will never receive this kind of text from anyone in their family, much less their oldest brother, Rollins is not your average college player.

Instead, as the youngest sister of Major League Baseball's 2007 National League Most Valuable Player Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, she is enjoying some special moments.

"It's funny because I just got back into town from the Major League Baseball Sportswriters and Philadelphia Sportswriters banquets where they were honoring Jimmy with the MVP award," said Rollins. "When we got in the limo after the second event, I told Jimmy about how weird it was to have bodyguards escort him to where he needed to go and people were chasing him to get his autograph when to me, he is just my brother."
