Benes Envy II We now

Benes Envy II

We now have five of the seven brothers who have faced each other:

- Andy and Alan Benes did it the other day.

- In 1996 , Pedro (Montreal) and Ramon (Dodgers) Martinez faced each other.

- Vincent Paterno confirms the Madduxes:

I was at one brother vs. brother confrontation, at the Vet in September of 1986 -- I believe it was the Monday entering the final week of the season. Both were rookies, to boot -- Chicago's Greg vs. the Phillies' Mike. Greg won, of course, but the most memorable event of that game was when Glenn Wilson threw out Keith Moreland at first base. Shades of Carl Furillo!

- Travis Nelson confirms that the Leiter brothers have faced each other.

- Jay Jaffe of Futility Infielder offers the Underwood brothers, and as a Phillies fan, I am embarrassed to have not thought of them:

I read your post regarding brothers pitching against each other and one came to mind: Tom and Pat Underwood faced each other in 1979. Both pitched well, but Pat's Tigers scored the game's only run on a Jerry Morales HR in the eighth to beat Tom's Blue Jays 1-0. Poor Tom dropped to 0-7 with the loss.. Gotta love Retrosheet for stuff like that.

I will endeavor to find the other two.
