On Sept. 15, 1963, the Alou brothers, Felipe, Jesus and Matty, all appeared in the outfield during the game. This marked the first and only time an MLB outfield has been played completely by brothers.
A few brothers have won the World Series side by side, including Mort and Walker Cooper. They won the World Series with the Cardinals, not once, but twice. They are the only brothers to have ever won multiple World Series titles with the same team, according to the MLB. The brothers first captured the championship in 1942 and then for a second time in 1944.
Brothers Dizzy and Paul Dean also found luck with the Cardinals, winning the World Series together in 1934.
Jim and Gaylord Perry are also notable MLB teammates and brothers. They are the only sibling duo to have won the Cy Young Award, according to MLB.
There’s also Lloyd and Paul Waner, the only MLB brothers who were both inducted into the Hall of Fame as players, according to the professional baseball league.
There are also quite a few sets of twins that have played on the same MLB team. The most recent pair is Taylor and Tyler Rogers, both pitchers for the San Francisco Giants.
Other MLB twins who have played for the same team are Joe and Red Shannon, who both played for the Braves in 1915, Eddie and Johnny O’Brien, who played for the Pirates from 1953 to 1958, and Jose and Ozzie Canseco, who played for the Athletics in 1990.
