    Neale also played for the Canton Bulldogs with Jim Thorpe in 1917 (and I think before that, too), and with the Massillon Tigers in 1919. All three of those teams -- Canton, Dayton and Massillon -- were represented at the 1920 meeting that founded the APFA (which became the NFL), but Massillon withdrew before the season and never played in the league. Neither did Neale.

    I'll wrap this up.

    The missing Hall of Famers are Red Badgro and Paddy Driscoll. The final post-1970 guy is Matt Kinzer.

    Corey and Kyle Seager became the 21st pair of brothers to homer in the same game on Monday. How many others can you name?

    Two easy guesses would be the Aarons (Henry and Tommy) and the Waners (Paul and Lloyd -- Big and Little Poison).

    Maybe Clete and Ken Boyer did it when playing against each other (I don't think they were ever on the same team).

    And knowing how good a hitter Ken Brett was for a pitcher, let's say Ken and George Brett.

    The Waners and Aarons three times each. The Boyers as opponents in Game 7 of the 1964 World Series.

    No on the Bretts. I don't know if George played before the DH.

    I want to say the Reuschel Brothers did it. Assume the Alous must have. If we are going with guys on different teams, the DiMaggios.

    No on the Reuschels, although they both surrendered homers in the same game three times.

    Twice by the Alous, Matty and Felipe and Matty and Jesus, but no Jesus and Felipe. Joe and Dom DiMaggio did it once.

    Aaron and Bret Boone must be on the list?

    That was on Lap 5 and they didn't cancel the race!?
    Holy shit. Vince McMahon thinks that's cold-blooded.
