That was all Pinella's brilliant doing. Remember me talking about bad Reds trades? That be one of the major ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have dive into the game and see what kind of gift one brother gave to the other. Edit-Wow...only home run for Joe in his career was off his brother. Actually after googling the game I think Mike vs Greg Maddux would have been a better answer.

But I know that Joe hit one off of brother Phil in the mid 70's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick and Paul Reuschel Dizzy and Daffy Dean Andy and Alan Benes And George Brett's bro Ken was a pitcher. Evidently George never hit a dinger off Ken? But they would have been in the AL West at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I know...just combing my mind for brother combos and the Forschs came to mind...if I recall correctly Bob was no slouch with the bat, at least for a pitcher...
