    Best Brother Act?

    We have heard a lot since the Super Bowl about the great QB brothers now playing in the NFL: Peyton and Eli Manning.

    But what about BASEBALL? What was the best pair of brothers ever to play MLB?

    my nominations include:
    * Paul Waner (.333 BA/.404 obp/.473 SA) - career AOPS=133) and Lloyd Waner (.316/.353/.393) - AOPS =99

    * Joe DiMaggio (.325/.398/.579) - AOPS=156 and brother Dom DiMaggio (.298/.383/.419) - AOPS = 109

    * Jim Perry (215 wins) and Gaylord Parry (314 wins) - combined 529 wins and 439 losses (.546 career W-L percentage)

    * Dizzy Dean (150 wins) and Paul Dean (50 career wins) - combined 200 wins and 117 for .631 career W-L percentage

    Any other nominations?

    The Waner brothers had longer careers and bigger career totals, but the DiMaggio brothers had better power numbers.
    The Perry brothers had long careers and good totals, while the Dean boys had great W-L percentages.

      Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

            Well, Hank and Tommie have more hits, HRs, RBI, runs, and total bases combined then any other brother combination by a huge margin. What's not to like? :hyper:

                          Please! Alex and Ivan Rodriguez would give you a pretty good infield 1-2 punch along with Joe and Reggie Jackson anchoring the outfield.

                            If we're ruling out pairs with one great brother who picks up the slack for the other (the Aarons, the Madduxes), then I'd go with the following pairs:

                            1. Paul and Lloyd Waner
                            2. Joe and Dom DiMaggio
                            3. Gaylord and Jim Perry
                            4. Phil and Joe Niekro
                            5. Roberto and Sandy Alomar
