Brothers vs brothers, who do you got?

[Rick2583]

Recently while thumbing through things I couldn't help but notice how close the careers were of two sets of brothers, the Niekro's & the Perry's.

Phil Niekro (1964-1987) 318-274 with a 3.35 ERA & 3,342 strikeouts
Joe Niekro (1967-1988) 221-204 with a 3.59 ERA & 1,747 strikeouts

TOTALS = won 539 lost 478 with a 3.47 ERA & 5,089 strikeouts
_______________________________________________________________

Gaylord Perry (1962-1983) 314-265 with a 3.11 ERA & 3,534 strikeouts
Jim Perry (1959-1975) 215-174 with a 3.45 ERA & 1,576 strikeouts

TOTALS = won 529 lost 439 with a 3.28 ERA & 5,110 strikeouts
___________________________________________________________

Footnote: ................

The Perry's had 3 CYA between them (Gaylord had one in each league)
The Niekro's had none

The Perry's had 412 CGs (Gaylord 303 & Jim 109)
The Niekro's had 352 CGs (Phil 245 & Joe 107)

The Perry's had 85 shutouts (Gaylord 53 & Jim 32)
The Niekro's had 74 shutouts (Phil 45 & Joe 29)

For me growing up as both a Yankee & Giant fan I've gotta go with the Perry's Between Gaylord & Marichal I loved watching the Giants whenever I could during the 60s.

Pedro & Ramon Martinez
Greg & Mike Maddox
Dizzy & Paul Dean

And speaking of Dizzy Dean, he was well on his way of being the most dominating pitcher of his time. Between 1932 & 1936 he went 120-65 including going 82-32 between the 1934 & 1935 seasons. During the 1937 all star game he was hit in the foot from a line drive breaking his toe. He came back to soon saying that he would just change his delivery so not land to hard on that foot. That changed his entire game & was his down fall. Over the next 4 seasons he went a combined 30-18 & decided to retire in 1941. He was only 31 years old. Finishing with a mark of 150-83

6 years later while broadcasting for the cash poor Browns he grew frustrated watching the game & blurted out that he could pitch better then any of the pitchers currently on the team. The owners needing money jumped on the challenge & in September of 1947 Dean made a one game comeback. He pitched 4 innings & didn't give up a run. He also singled in his only AB. Unfortunately he also pulled a hammy on that hit.

Paul & Lloyd Waner
Joe, Dom & Vince DiMaggio
Matty, Felipe & Jesus Alou
Sandy & Roberto Alomar
Ken, Clete & Cloyd Boyer
George & Ken Brett

I'm sure I've missed a few.

Again, Great Work My Friend. I'd add to this list today, but honestly I am brain dead today. Spent the last 2 days with my belated Brother's Kid's, and His Brother In Law, and Friends of His, like my own Brothers....the intensity of it all, left my brain like Gumby....."I'm Gumby Damn It"......

Molina brothers....

Molina brothers....

Unless they all retired recently they don't fall into the category of "Well known brothers of the past".

Hank and Tommie Aaron


Ty Cobb, Ty Waller and Ty Wiggington.

missed of the past... oh well

 

[Rick2583]

That's okay my friend, you've got a lot on your plate.

 

[Hammerojustice]

That's okay my friend, you've got a lot on your plate.

That's an understatement... not even 10 and I can't stop yawning...

Tony and Billy Conigliaro

Tony and Billy Conigliaro

Good find, how could I forget about the Conigliaro's? Especially Tony. I remember the beaning by Hamilton like it was yesterday. He was a can't miss superstar prior to that tragic day. His final years spent in Coma before his death at the all to young age of 45. Brother Billy though no where near the player his big brother was was a pretty good ball player in his own right. He retired in his 20s due to baseball politics that he couldn't deal with.

Unlike the Conigliaro's I didn't mention the Ripkins, the Torre's, or the Aaron's because, well shall we say, Billy, Frank's & Tommy's careers were less then memorable.
