Baseball Brothers Who Pitched Against Each Other
Westcoasttony on 06/25/2009 |
On June 20, 2009, Jeff Weaver and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated Jared Weaver and the Los Angeles Angels, 6-4, in a rare pitching match-up between two brothers. In fact, in the entire history of Major League Baseball’s modern era (i.e., since 1900), this is only the twentieth time it has occurred. You are invited to identify the brothers who pitched against each other in these ten games. Warning: I MAY have thrown in a few brothers who were non-pitchers as "maguffins," but all the actual answers are bona fide pitchers who are also brothers. Terrific sources for this quiz (the internet is a baseball geek's heaven) include Baseball-Reference.com and Baseball-Almanac.com. Thanks for taking the quiz and I hope it's ten innings of fun!

Challenging and fun!
Remind me to introduce you to the email address of a fantatstic baseball trivia guy. He has a daily (somewhat) trivia that he sends people if they want to be on his list. I got him to sign up here on Sploofus, and I'm trying to remember his username. ken something. I'll look for it. Great quiz!
I didn't have a clue so I brought in the "A team"....he knows his baseball.
