Bryan Harvey's daughter, Whitney Harvey, was diagnosed in 1990 with Angeman Syndrome — a rare neurological disorder. When he won the Rolaids Relief Man Award (1991) he donated the $20,000 prize month to help find a cure and commented in Baseball Weekly, "Just seeing her every day makes my job easy. Whitney lives with her problems every day. That's why I don't get really, really down after a bad game or something."
