    About this ebook

    The nepotism pipeline in major league baseball has been in operation since the first pitch was thrown in a professional baseball game, and it shows no sign of closing. For example, early in 2019 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Cavan Biggio, the sons of former major leaguers and Hall of Famers Vladimir Guerrero and Craig Biggio, were recalled from the minors by the Toronto Blue Jays. So were Zach Plesac, the nephew of former big league pitcher Dan Plesac (Cleveland Indians), and Mike Yastrzemski, the grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yasztremski (San Francisco Giants).

    Sons, nephews, grandsons: the list of major league baseball players related to one another is lengthy. But it can be extended to cousins, in-laws, step-brothers…They can all loosely be called "brothers"—even though the one mother-son pairing in this book is hard to fit into that category. There is another group not related by blood that can fall into the "brothers" category, e.g. umpires who were also players and two-way players who starred in other professional sports or in show business.

    Regardless of their relationships these "brothers" have played a significant role in the history of major league baseball and created a rich collection of anecdotes ranging from humorous to tragic that have often gone unnoticed and unreported until now. The stories in this book bring to life the significant contributions those "brothers" have made to the history of major league baseball and suggest that there are more to come as the "Brothers" pipeline continues to operate.
