Benes Envy or My Dad Cannot Beat Up Your Dad-It's Physically Impossible
Brothers Andy and Alan Benes face off tonight in the Cards-Cubs game in St. Louis. It is believed to be the only the seventh time that siblings have pitched against each other in major-league baseball history. The last time was in 1996 when the Martinez brothers, Pedro (Montreal) and Ramon (Dodgers) faced each other.
The five other possibilities that I found follow (with the years each started a game in the same league, but no the same team, in brackets):
- Forsch (1974-'80)
- Perry (1972-'73, '75)
- Niekro (1967-'69, '74-'83, '86-'87)
- Dean (1938-'40)
- Coveleski (1916-'18)
- Stottlemyre (1990)
- Maddux ('93-'94, '96-'97)
- Leiter ('86-'92)
Does anyone know who the other five are?
